What are the methods to reduce fever caused by indigestion?

It is very common for children to have food accumulation in their bodies. If the food accumulation is not treated in time, it may easily cause a fever. Parents must know how to deal with this kind of phenomenon. If a child's fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, medication should be used to help reduce the fever.

What medicine should children take for indigestion and fever

Food accumulation refers to a gastrointestinal disease caused by excessive consumption of milk and food in children, which damages the spleen and stomach and causes the milk and food to stagnate in the middle burner. The syndrome of indigestion often occurs in infants and young children, and its main manifestations include abdominal distension, dry or sour stool, foul-smelling flatulence, sour and rancid belching, and abdominal distension and heat. If a child has a fever due to indigestion, it is necessary to clear away the heat and use antipyretics to reduce the fever.

1. When the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can use antipyretic treatments such as Motrin and Tylenol. When the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can take warm baths frequently to cool down, or apply a fever-reducing patch to the forehead to cool down.

2. You can use lactase, lactase, pepsin oral solution, etc. to promote digestion. It can also be treated with oral liquid for eliminating accumulation, or by taking decoction of hawthorn, malt, chicken's gizzard lining, etc. to eliminate accumulation and aid food. You can use pediatric enema to relieve constipation, which is the fastest way to relieve constipation in children.

3. Use medication rationally. When food accumulation causes fever, the key is to eliminate the accumulation. You can give your baby some Chinese patent medicines such as Xiaoer Qixing Tea, Huaji Oral Liquid, Wang's Baochi Pills, etc. to help with bowel movements. If the bowel movements are smooth, the fever will subside. Otherwise, if it only reduces the fever, the temperature will rise again after a few hours. While eliminating the accumulation, pay close attention to the baby's symptoms and body temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius and there is no obvious abnormality, there is no need to take antipyretics. Just drink plenty of water and cool down physically. If the body temperature is above 38.5, you can use children's special medicines such as Chaigui Antipyretic Granules, Antipyretic Patch, Tylenol, etc. If the temperature is above 39 degrees, you can use Motrin to reduce the fever urgently, but do not take too much.

Care methods for children with indigestion and fever : 1. Physical cooling. If a fever is caused by indigestion, taking antipyretics immediately will reduce the body's ability to resist germs. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5, physical cooling methods can be used. You can use warm water to wipe your baby's forehead, palms, soles of feet, back and chest to help cool down. A warm bath is also good. You can also dress your baby in loose, cool clothes to help dissipate heat. Drink more water to replenish the water lost due to fever, promote metabolism, and take away some internal heat.

2. Eat some liquid food. When your baby is suffering from indigestion, do not force him to eat. Instead, feed him some liquid food such as soup, porridge, milk, and some light vegetables. You can eat bananas and apples as fruits to promote bowel movements.

3. Help with massage. If a baby has difficulty defecating, it will cause abdominal distension and pain. Parents can massage the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with the palm of their palm, with the navel as the center. When they feel a harder area (which may be stagnant stool), they should push down with a little force to promote the urge to defecate. You can also dip your fingers in baby oil and gently massage the baby's anus to stimulate bowel movements.

4. Do appropriate exercise. Let your baby move more appropriately, rely on his own gastrointestinal activity to digest food and help eliminate accumulation. Exercise can also increase the secretion of sweat glands, which can take away some internal heat through sweating and help cool down.
