Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. What should I do if the baby cries uncontrollably?Doctor's answer:
Babies who are startled may exhibit this behavior, and babies with calcium deficiency may also experience unexplained crying. If the check shows no calcium or zinc deficiency, this condition will likely disappear within two or three days. Your baby's condition may be gastroesophageal reflux, also known as alkaline reflux gastritis. It refers to a syndrome characterized by symptoms such as upper abdominal pain, vomiting bile, bloating, and weight loss, caused by bile reflux into the stomach. It is recommended to use triple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori and add medications to promote gastric motility.
