Child indigestion is primarily caused by young children eating too much, damaging their spleen and stomach, leading to the stagnation of milk and food in the middle jiao, resulting in gastrointestinal disorders. Fever is one of the symptoms of child indigestion. If a child experiences prolonged indigestion, it can lead to malnutrition and affect their future growth and development. Therefore, if a child has indigestion, timely treatment is necessary. If a child exhibits symptoms such as bad breath, fever in the hands and feet, yellow skin, and lethargy, they are likely suffering from indigestion. Additionally, some children with indigestion may also experience significantly decreased appetite, poor sleep quality, nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, and white, thick tongue coating. These children often have poor digestive function and struggle to absorb the food they eat.
