Question
What are the differences between fevers caused by food retention and colds?
Answer
Fever caused by food retention in children is usually low-grade, generally not exceeding 38 degrees Celsius. If the fever persists or is accompanied by high temperatures, it is important to administer antipyretic medication to the child promptly. If the blood count is normal and the child exhibits constipation, they can be given a pediatric digestive oral liquid, and precautions should be taken to keep warm, providing them with liquid foods. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, immediate treatment should be initiated, along with gastrointestinal decompression measures, while also paying attention to hygiene habits. Parents should avoid letting their children picky eat or have a preference for certain foods, ensuring a balanced diet for their children.
