Question
Can overeating cause fever in babies?
Answer
Occasionally, overeating in babies may lead to fever, but it is usually due to other factors such as colds or infections. If a baby’s fever exceeds 38°C, it is recommended to administer fever-reducing medication and observe for any other symptoms. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, the baby should be taken to a doctor immediately. For 6-month-old babies, special attention should be paid to any other abnormal conditions, such as being unable to lift the head or roll over. If any unusual behavior or symptoms are noticed in the baby, immediate professional medical assistance should be sought.
