How long does a child’s fever due to indigestion usually last?

Many babies will have fever symptoms when they have food accumulation. Babies who have fever due to indigestion usually have a fever suddenly, and they do not have any symptoms of a cold. However, if you observe the baby's tongue coating, you will find that the coating is white and thick, and the baby may have difficulty defecation and dry stools, and his appetite will decrease. So, how long does a baby's fever due to indigestion usually last? Let's take a look at the related issues about babies' fever due to indigestion.

How many days will it take for the baby's fever to subside due to food accumulation?

A baby's fever caused by indigestion usually recovers in three to five days.

Notice:

Different physical constitutions and different degrees of illness will also affect the baby's recovery speed. If the baby's physical constitution is poor and the illness is serious, indigestion and fever may persist for half a month.

Specific analysis:

If the fever is caused by indigestion, let the child eat until he is 60% to 70% full, and then take some Compound Chicken Gizzard Powder or Qizhen Pills.

How to reduce fever in babies:

1. If the baby's fever is below 38.5℃, parents can take physical cooling methods, such as cold and wet compresses on the head; if it exceeds 38.5℃, antipyretics can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

2. However, a high fever above 39°C can easily cause convulsions in children. Children under 6 months old should be treated promptly when they have a fever because their condition changes rapidly.

3. Warm water bath: Dip a towel in warm water (the water temperature should not be too hot to touch) and wipe the neck, armpits, and thighs for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also use a commercially available "cooling patch" (or a household ice pack) on the forehead to help dissipate heat and reduce temperature.

4. Take antipyretics. When the baby's fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, the doctor will consider using oral medications or rectal suppositories to reduce the baby's fever. Or when the above physical measures are not effective, oral antipyretics can be taken.

Kind tips:

1. Infants and young children under 3 months old should use drugs to reduce fever with caution, and physical methods should be used to reduce fever instead. If the antipyretic effect of medication is not good or the body temperature exceeds 39°C within two hours after taking medication, physical methods should be used to reduce the temperature.

2. It takes a certain amount of time for drugs to take effect in reducing fever. When a child's temperature suddenly exceeds 40°C, physical methods should be used to reduce fever immediately.
