Accumulation of food in babies may produce a high fever, but it is not very common and is not a primary cause for consideration.
A baby’s digestive system is not well developed and food retention can easily occur if not fed properly. The most common symptom of food retention in babies is bloating, which may be accompanied by abdominal pain. The most common causes of high fever in babies are upper respiratory tract infections, acute gastroenteritis and urinary tract infections. Only after these common causes are ruled out will it be considered that the baby’s fever is caused by food retention.
Parents in the usual feeding should pay attention to not give the baby too full, six or seven minutes full can be, and do not let the baby sleep immediately after eating, so as to avoid the accumulation of food.
