Patient's question:
My baby is almost 5 months old. Recently, he cries non-stop every night. What could be the reason for this? My baby cries even when he's asleep. ``` There is no history of treatment or its effectiveness. In terms of assistance, I want to know what is causing my baby to cry constantly at night.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that it could be "colic." Colic is pain caused by spasms of the large intestine, often making babies cry incessantly, sometimes even for 1-2 hours straight. Since babies cannot speak, they express their discomfort through crying.Recommendation: When the baby is crying, you can hold them upright with their head resting on your shoulder and gently pat their back to expel excess air from their stomach. Alternatively, you can gently massage their abdomen with your hands. If the situation does not stabilize, it is recommended to seek medical attention at the pediatric department of a hospital for a thorough examination and early treatment. I hope this helps, and wish you good health.
