When a child develops a fever due to food stagnation, parents should first measure the child's body temperature. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is recommended to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment. Under a doctor's guidance, the child may take antipyretic medications such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. After taking oral antipyretics, the child should drink warm water in small amounts but frequently, which can help reduce fever and promote recovery.
