Question
A six-month-old baby has a fever of 39 degrees Celsius and has not had a bowel movement for three days. Is it possible that it’s due to indigestion? The baby took a dose of children’s ibuprofen granules at 9 AM. What could be the cause of the fever?
Answer
Based on the description, the primary suspicion is tonsillitis. Tonsillitis can cause recurrent fever but usually does not accompany other cold symptoms. It is recommended to give the baby children’s throat lozenges, amoxicillin granules, and Qingkailing granules. Ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and closely monitor their condition. Keep the baby warm and avoid catching a cold. These are suggestions for the question, ‘Is it possible for a six-month-old baby with a fever of 39 degrees Celsius and constipation for three days to be due to indigestion?’ I hope this helps; wishing you health!
