Can a four-month-old baby eat watermelon if he gets angry?

We all know that watermelon is a great summer food for cooling down. It has the effect of reducing internal heat and relieving heat. But when the baby shows symptoms of getting angry, can he eat watermelon? When the baby has a fever, parents will be extremely anxious and will try every possible way to treat the baby, but they dare not give the baby any medicine to reduce fever. So, can a four-month-old baby eat watermelon if he has symptoms of fever?

Can babies eat watermelon when they have internal heat?

Babies can eat watermelon when they have a sore throat, but they should not eat too much. Watermelon is sweet and cool in nature, clears away heat and detoxifies, relieves restlessness and quenches thirst, has a diuretic effect and is rich in nutrients. It is a good food for cooling off in summer and will definitely not cause getting a sore throat.

However, although watermelon is good, it is a cold product. If people with weak constitution and weak stomach eat too much, it may easily cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. It should not be eaten with greasy foods. If watermelon is eaten with warm food or drinks, the cold and heat will not be harmonized, which may easily cause vomiting. After the watermelon is cut, it should be eaten as soon as possible, otherwise its sweet and juicy flesh will easily become an ideal "culture medium" for bacteria; when eating watermelon stored in the refrigerator, be sure to leave it at room temperature for a while before eating it, so as not to harm your body.

Babies have weak gastrointestinal function, so they should not eat too much watermelon and should eat it in moderation. Symptoms of heatstroke or other acute febrile diseases in summer, such as fever, thirst, oliguria, sweating, and irritability, can be treated by eating watermelon.

What to eat when your baby is suffering from internal heat

When a child has a fever, it is generally recommended not to rush to give the baby antipyretic medicine, but to start with improving the diet first. From the perspective of diet therapy and health care, the general principle is to drink more water and eat more light and easily digestible food. Here are some specific suggestions for parents:

1. Feed your baby more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in fiber. When cooking, pay attention to adding foods such as lotus root (the best effect is achieved by boiling it in water or cooking it with rice porridge), radish (green radish is the best, followed by those with red skin and white core), fennel, bitter melon, etc.; appropriately increase the intake of cold fruits such as watermelon, pear, grapefruit, pomelo, coconut, tangerine, hard persimmon, mangosteen, tomato, and other cold fruits; and neutral fruits such as apples, grapes, oranges, papaya, strawberry, cherry, and mulberry; reduce the intake of hot fruits such as longan, lychee, mango, and durian.

2. Try to avoid giving your baby overly greasy food cooked with fried or braised recipes.

3. Control your baby’s snacks, especially eat less refined processed foods that are high in oil and sugar.

4. To supplement high-quality protein for your baby, use stewing or steaming methods to cook. There should be an adequate supply of high-quality proteins such as eggs, lean meat, fish, and beans, but animal protein should be chosen as low in fat as possible and not too greasy. In cooking, secret recipes such as stewing and steaming are often used.

5. Let your baby eat less spicy and irritating food. Eating less spicy and irritating foods can keep your stools from being dry and your urine from being turbid.

6. Provide your baby with light porridge and soup. If the baby has a sore throat, parents can let the child eat more mung bean porridge, lotus leaf porridge, or mung bean soup, lotus seed soup (without removing the lotus core).

7. You can let your baby eat more foods such as hawthorn and yam that can strengthen the spleen and appetite, and help digestion and eliminate food accumulation.

If a four-month-old baby shows symptoms of getting angry, you can give the baby more vegetables. Of course, the vegetables may need to be crushed. You can also give the baby more boiled water, which can also relieve the baby's symptoms of getting angry. In fact, there are many foods that can treat baby's getting angry. You can also eat some watermelon appropriately at ordinary times, but if the situation is more serious, you must go to the hospital for treatment.
