What is the reason why the child has been crying easily since birth?

Patient's question:

The child is one year and five months old. Since birth, it has been prone to crying and struggling to catch its breath, but it can recover after two or three seconds. On October 8th, because it couldn’t catch its breath, it had a tonic spasm, with clenched jaw and eyes rolling back, and it took about five minutes to recover. By November 23rd, when he was given medicine for a cold and refused to take it, he cried loudly again, and the same symptoms occurred. On the 24th, when I tried to clean his shoes and prepare for an EEG, he cried, and the symptoms recurred again, similar to the first time, but the duration was shorter, lasting only two or three minutes. After recovering, he seemed very tired and then fell asleep. Additionally, at night during deep sleep, he cries in the middle of the night every night, requiring about 10 minutes of comforting each time, and he cries every night. He also crawls around.

Doctor's answer:

The child is 1 year and 5 months old, which is a rapid stage of nervous system development. A careful MRI examination of the brain did not reveal any abnormalities, so organic inflammation can be temporarily ruled out. The abnormal EEG findings are not worth paying attention to but cannot be diagnosed. It is recommended to take good care of the child in daily life, increase the occurrence of crying, and stabilize the child's emotions. At the same time, calcium can be digested to suppress nighttime crying. Pay attention to observing the child's daily behavior, and re-examine the EEG if necessary.
