Question
How should I handle a 7-month-old baby’s stomach pain after a fever, where the baby is crying non-stop and has poor appetite?
Answer
Firstly, you can try using alcohol wipes to help the baby cool down. Next, it’s important to identify the cause of the fever, as there are many possible reasons for a fever, the most common being infection. Other potential causes include connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors. It is not recommended to rush into medication without determining the cause. It is suggested to give the baby some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, such as Mamylove, Ceftriaxone Granules, Simeticona, Shenshen San, and other similar remedies. For diet, opt for light fluid foods like thick rice porridge, diluted fruit juice, and noodle soup.
