Patient's question:
My baby, 17 days old, keeps waking up at night and crying. It sounds like there's phlegm in his throat, and he can't let out his breath properly, making his face turn red! He cries all the time.Doctor's answer:
In this case for a small baby, it is considered that a cold caused by catching a cold may have led to nasal congestion, poor ventilation, difficulty breathing during sleep, and continuous crying. It is recommended to use a small low pillow and to feed the baby more water. Carefully observe to see if the condition improves. If it does not, it is important to take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Additionally, if the child is eating normally during the day, has normal bowel and bladder movements, normal weight gain, and sleeps peacefully during naps, it could be due to a reversal of day and night routines, or a lack of vitamins and trace elements, requiring vitamin AD supplementation.
