Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend. According to your description, crying can be divided into two situations: one is physiological crying. This is an instinctive response and a way for babies to express their emotions and needs, possibly due to hunger, temperature changes, being startled, or having nightmares. In this case, parents only need to calmly soothe the baby to help them regain composure. The other type is pathological crying, which should be given enough attention. Appropriate use of compounds like Jīn Jīn Powder, Xǐng Pí Yǎng ér Granules, Bǎo ér ān, Xiao ér Jīng Fēng Powder, and Lóng Mǔ Zhuàng Gǔ Granules can be considered. Additionally, gentle touch therapy can be applied to promote the child's emotional stability.
