Patient's question:
My child vomited a few days ago, but since yesterday, he has had a slight fever of 37.5°C. Today, he has a fever again, but it hasn't exceeded 38°C. He has phlegm in his throat and a hoarse voice. What could this be?Doctor's answer:
Children vomiting with fever are often caused by indigestion. The nervous system and digestive system of babies are not fully developed, so their stomach's digestive function is relatively weak, leading to disharmony of the spleen and stomach, and a weak spleen and stomach. If combined with improper feeding, it can cause digestive disorders, such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. In cases of indigestion, the fasting method can be adopted—do not consume any food, fast for 1-2 days, and try to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract.
