How to solve the problem of baby's fever caused by stomachache

Parents with children at home usually have some medicines at home to treat children's colds and fevers. Children's immune systems are sometimes not fully formed, and some minor illnesses can cause fever, colds, etc. Some babies will have a fever after having a stomachache. Mothers need to pay attention at this time. There are many cases where babies' stomachaches cause fever. Some only need physical therapy to recover, while others need to go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause. The following is my analysis and solution to the fever caused by babies' stomachaches.

Fever accompanied by abdominal pain is a common clinical manifestation in pediatrics. It is mainly seen in two major categories of diseases, one is pediatric acute abdomen and the other is pediatric gastrointestinal inflammation.

Acute appendicitis is the most common acute abdomen in children. Generally, abdominal pain is the first symptom. Fever often occurs several hours after the abdominal pain. The body temperature is not too high at first, but it may gradually rise as the appendix lesions worsen. Abdominal examination shows fixed tenderness in the right lower abdomen and tense abdominal muscles. Laboratory tests show elevated white blood cells in the peripheral blood.

Acute intestinal obstruction is also common in children. It begins with paroxysmal abdominal cramps, accompanied by vomiting and constipation. Fever follows, and the body temperature gradually rises as the obstruction symptoms worsen. Abdominal examination may reveal tenderness or a palpable mass. Abdominal fluoroscopy or upright plain film can help with diagnosis.

Suggestions:

If parents find that their baby is crying and restless while having a fever, they should consider whether it is caused by abdominal pain and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible to confirm or rule out acute abdomen to avoid delaying treatment. If the baby has loose stools when having a fever, the stool should be collected and taken to the hospital for testing to confirm the diagnosis.

If the stomach pain is simply caused by a fever, you can take the following methods to solve it.

1. Give antiviral treatment, you can use ribavirin, four-season antiviral mixture, etc., and do a mycoplasma antibody test to rule out mycoplasma infection.

2. When the child's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, give him/her antipyretics, such as ibuprofen and nimesulide. At the same time, drink plenty of water, apply ice compresses, and use alcohol to cool down.

A baby having a fever accompanied by stomach pain is a common occurrence in babies. In this case, mothers should not be anxious. They can first give the child physical therapy. If the condition feels serious, they need to go to the hospital for treatment. Children's physical development is not yet complete. Sometimes bacterial infections or eating too much cold food can cause stomachaches, and weak babies can develop fevers. Parents need to pay attention to their children's daily diet and lifestyle, and try to prevent their children from getting sick.
