What should I do if my baby has food stagnation, fever, and constipation?
Disease description:
Because I was too busy with work, I left my baby in my mother's care. Well-intentioned as she is, she let the baby eat randomly, which led to symptoms of food stagnation, fever, and constipation. So, what should be done when a baby suffers from food stagnation, fever, and constipation?

Constipation, fever, and food stagnation in infants can be treated through dietary adjustments and medication. Regarding diet, provide the baby with light meals, encourage increased water intake, and include fiber-rich vegetables such as cabbage, celery, and cauliflower. Also offer fruits that help moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, such as bananas and dragon fruit. Monitor the baby's axillary temperature regularly; if it exceeds 38.5°C, administer an oral antipyretic. Additionally, probiotics can be given orally to improve the baby's intestinal flora, enhance intestinal motility, and facilitate defecation. Seek prompt medical attention at a hospital when necessary.
