Question
Does a 7-month-old baby get a fever from constipation?
Answer
Babies are prone to constipation, which can cause fever. Constipation refers to the situation where waste in the baby’s stomach cannot be expelled, leading to the accumulation of toxins that cause the baby to have a fever and become irritable. Once the accumulated toxins are eliminated, the fever will subside as well. If the baby is not constipated but instead has frequent diarrhea, you can give the baby some hawthorn water to drink. It not only helps with digestion and clears the intestines but also relieves diarrhea, achieving a win-win situation.
