Question
What’s causing a child’s cold, fever, and abdominal pain?
Answer
A child experiencing fever can have two possible scenarios: one is gastrointestinal cold, where the child’s digestive function is compromised, leading to indigestion or gastroenteritis, which weakens their immune resistance and is exacerbated by external wind and cold. In such cases, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician for targeted treatment. The other scenario is fever caused by indigestion, possibly due to consuming an excessive amount of difficult-to-digest food in a short period. In addition to pediatric massage, some digestive aids can be taken, and plenty of water should be consumed.
