What should I do if my child cries non-stop at night?

Patient's question:

It's very good during the day, but at night, the baby cries every hour while taking a nap. Holding the baby down doesn't help. The local hospital checked the trace elements and found that the calcium level is below the minimum required value, even though the child has been taking calcium supplements.
Previous Treatment and Effects: Received D3 injections.
Kind of Help Needed: Hello doctor, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Crying comes in two types: one is physiological crying. This is an instinctive response, a way for babies to express their emotions and seek comfort, which may be due to hunger, temperature changes, excessive fright, or nightmares. In this case, parents only need to calmly soothe the baby to help it regain complete calm. However, there is also a pathological crying that requires sufficient attention. Any illness that causes pain, itching, or discomfort to the baby will make it cry uncontrollably, such as fever, eczema, rickets, oral herpes, pinworm infection, and intussusception.
