Dr. Yang Shuwen
Fever generally refers to elevated body temperature. In children, fever caused by food stagnation often leads to indigestion, with symptoms such as decreased appetite, abdominal bloating, vomiting, fever, or changes in bowel movement frequency. It is recommended to use antipyretic medications like ibuprofen or acetaminophen under medical guidance to reduce body temperature. Additionally, physical cooling methods such as applying fever-reducing patches or performing warm water sponge baths can be helpful. Probiotics may also be used according to medical advice to regulate intestinal flora.
