Patient's question:
The baby cried all day yesterday, no matter how we tried to comfort him, but later he might have cried himself to sleep. In the middle of the night, we noticed he had a cold back, was sweating, and his face was a bit pale. In the morning, his face improved, and he wasn't sweating anymore, but his back was still cold, and his throat was hoarse. Should we give him medicine? The baby just turned a month old.Doctor's answer:
The baby has just turned one month old, and crying cannot be for no reason. It must be that the baby is uncomfortable in some way—either cold, hungry, or in pain somewhere. It is more likely that the baby has abdominal pain, as poor digestive function can cause gas in the abdomen, leading to severe intestinal pain. It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a detailed abdominal ultrasound examination. Additionally, it is essential to give the child digestive vitamin D, with a minimum preventive dosage of 800 units per day.
