What should I do if I wake up suddenly crying uncontrollably at midnight?

Patient's question:

With irritability and restlessness, not knowing about the previous treatment and its effects: Once at the hospital, she stopped crying, but it happened many times again. What kind of help is desired: Wondering what the cause might be

Doctor's answer:

The child is 15 months old and still very young, not very good at responding verbally. Sometimes, when they are uncomfortable, they cannot express it correctly, so they need to express it through crying. If they wake up in the middle of the night and start crying loudly, it may not necessarily be due to an illness. It could be because they are hungry, too hot under the blanket, too cold, thirsty, or needing to use the bathroom, among other reasons. At this time, parents need to be patient and carefully observe, comfort them, and it will pass. Don’t worry too much about it.
