Only those who have raised children will understand the hardships of their parents, especially when children are relatively young, their physical resistance is low and the risk of fever is higher. Sometimes, fever is not caused by illness, but simply by overeating. So, why does child food accumulation cause fever?
Children may accumulate food by consuming too much protein and carbohydrate foods. The reason is that children's digestive function is still developing, and compared to adults, they may not be able to digest these difficult to digest foods. If the food stays in the intestines for too long, it is easy to ferment and produce more gas, which can lead to food accumulation. Children may experience symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, constipation, and fever.
Accumulated food can lead to an increase in body metabolism, producing more calories, and children may exhibit fever, usually with a higher incidence of low-grade fever. But parents should also be aware that it may be accompanied by respiratory infections, which can then lead to viral and bacterial infections and develop into high fever. The body temperature is approximately 38.5 ℃, and oral antipyretic medication is needed to prevent high fever from causing convulsions.
Parents should be careful not to let their children eat too much difficult to digest food when raising them. At the same time, parents also need to take their children to exercise more, which can help with digestion, enhance the body's resistance, and reduce the occurrence of food accumulation. Encouraging children to exercise more has many benefits for their physical health, and parents must take it seriously.
