What causes a child's stomach to be hot?

Because children have relatively weak resistance, sometimes they will have symptoms such as a hot stomach. Many parents do not know the reason. This symptom is mainly a manifestation of inflammation. If there is inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain will appear. Sometimes it is accompanied by abdominal pain, diarrhea and fever. Let us take a closer look at the causes of a child's hot stomach.

Among the common diseases of babies, fever is the one that makes parents most anxious. There are many reasons why children have a fever, and there are two more common ones: one is external infection, such as wind-cold or wind-heat (bacterial or viral infection), and the other is food accumulation. Now let me talk to you about what happens when a child has a fever and a hot stomach?

What's going on when a child has a fever and a hot stomach?

First, fever caused by food accumulation means that the child eats too much, too good, and too many kinds of food, which exceeds the movement capacity of the spleen and stomach, resulting in abnormal spleen and stomach function. Food accumulates in the stomach and intestines, accumulates and turns into heat, and the body can no longer bear the torment and shows symptoms of fever. 2

Second: Many parents now think that loving their children means providing them with their favorite food and letting them eat enough, or they believe that without meat, eggs, milk and fruit, their children will lack nutrition. Little do they know that such concepts and behaviors can easily cause children to have indigestion. If a child has indigestion, it can easily cause a fever if it is not resolved in time. The proportion of fever caused by indigestion in children is still relatively high, but it is often ignored. 3

Third: The child has a fever and has a history of improper diet before the fever, such as eating too much meat, fried food, sweets, and overeating (especially eating too much at dinner). The child has bad breath, thick tongue coating, dry stool or loose and foul-smelling stool, abdominal distension, anorexia and other signs of indigestion. The temperature of fever caused by indigestion can be high or low, and the palms of the hands and the belly often feel hot (the belly feels warmer than other parts of the body).
