Patient's question:
These days, the baby rarely eats milk. She dislikes crying. She won't eat even when she's hungry. She only eats when she falls asleep. The hospital said there's nothing wrong with her. What could be the issue?Past treatment history and effectiveness: Slightly feverish.
What kind of help is needed: Wondering if the baby can eat other foods.
Doctor's answer:
Crying comes in two types: one is physiological crying. This is an instinctive response, a way for babies to express their emotions and seek comfort, which may be due to hunger, temperature changes, excessive fright, or nightmares. At this time, parents only need to calmly soothe the baby to help it fully calm down. Except for a pathological crying that requires sufficient attention.Medical advice: Any disease that causes pain, itching, or discomfort in the baby will make it cry uncontrollably, such as fever, eczema, rickets, oral herpes, pinworm infection, and intussusception. When the baby cries again at night for no apparent reason, parents should first consider physiological causes, then think about pathological factors, and seek medical attention promptly if necessary.
