Question
My child is 5 years old. They have eaten too much food, but they don’t have a fever or tonsillitis. However, their body temperature fluctuates between low fever from 2 to 4 pm in the afternoon and at midnight. Although the fever subsides and the child’s spirits improve after taking cold medicine multiple times, this condition has persisted for two days. How can we solve this problem of recurrent low fever? Additionally, how should physical therapy be performed during low fever?
Answer
Based on your description, the child may be experiencing indigestion. It is recommended to seek help from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. It is very important for the doctor to understand the detailed condition, examine the tongue coating and pulse, as these are crucial for an accurate diagnosis. Relevant examinations can be conducted, and herbal medicine can be prescribed for nourishment. It is also suggested to maintain a light diet in the near future to strengthen the spleen and improve digestion. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
