Baby's gastrointestinal function is weak, and if they are not careful during regular meals, they are prone to symptoms of food accumulation. Food accumulation in babies not only leads to low appetite, but also easily causes fever. If a baby has a fever due to food accumulation, it will make the mother more anxious, so some mothers want to know what to do if the baby has a fever due to food accumulation?
Diet wise: If a baby accumulates food and has a fever, their appetite will be poor. Therefore, mothers should not force the baby to eat at this time. If the baby eats a lot of food, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, thereby exacerbating the accumulation of food. Therefore, when the baby accumulates food, the mother should give the baby some easily digestible food, such as porridge, noodles, etc. At the same time, she should also give the baby water in moderation multiple times, which can relieve the baby's fever.
In terms of treatment: If the baby's food accumulation fever is not very serious, the mother can first give the baby some medication to treat food accumulation, and then physically cool the baby, such as using a wet towel to wipe the baby's body, especially the palms and soles of the feet, which is beneficial for reducing the fever. In addition, the mother should open the window to ensure air circulation, which is more conducive to reducing the fever in the baby. If the baby has a severe fever and the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, the mother should give the baby some antipyretic medicine. However, before giving the baby antipyretic medicine, the mother should consult a doctor and follow the doctor's advice carefully to avoid improper medication and harm to the baby's health.
