Patient's question:
8 daysDetailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Yesterday, my daughter was taken out by her grandfather to visit friends. She started crying uncontrollably when she saw an elderly couple. It was the first time she cried so heartbrokenly. Since last night, she hasn’t been sleeping well, waking up suddenly and crying. Previously, she slept very soundly. Today, she’s still the same—waking up suddenly and crying even when being held. What methods can be used to solve this?
Doctor's answer:
Use the distraction method to calm the frightened baby. If the baby's view changes suddenly, they will feel strange and forget what startled them earlier. Gently blow continuously on the baby's forehead, and they will immediately blink and take a deep breath. Repeat this several times, and they will forget why they were crying.
