Patient's question:
My daughter is 26 days old today. A few days ago (around 1 week), she was very fussy at night, crying for 2 hours at a time or even shorter intervals. This made my wife and me very worried. But in the last couple of nights, the baby has been quite calm—she eats and sleeps (feeds every 3 hours). Now, the only issue is that she cries when she's hungry and hasn't been fed in time. Other than that, everything is fine. The baby's nighttime fussiness also worried us, but now that she's calm, we're still worried, haha...What kind of help would you like? Normal, I guess?
Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify this. Based on the description, it's important to be aware of the possibilities caused by digestive issues such as indigestion, as well as the potential causes related to calcium deficiency. This situation also warrants attention to other possible abnormal manifestations, such as abdominal pain, fever, etc.Advice: First and foremost, it's essential to stabilize emotions and get adequate rest. Avoid spicy or other irritating foods. Monitor the patient's temperature changes promptly and provide oral medication for treatment. If necessary, seek medical diagnosis at a formal hospital's pediatric department, including blood tests and trace element measurements. Based on the test results, appropriate treatment measures should be formulated. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery.
