Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 and a half months old. Recently, she has been crying non-stop after falling asleep at night. I initially thought it was due to calcium deficiency, so I continued giving her gluconate calcium, which improved slightly, but only for a day or two. Please tell me why this is happening and how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
If a child often cries at night. The most common reason is physiological crying. For example. if the child's diaper is wet or they are dressed too warmly or too cold. They will feel uncomfortable. This can lead to crying at night. As a mother. She should always pay attention to the reason for the child's crying. So that she can better handle the child. At this time. There may be nighttime abdominal pain. The child cannot speak and can only express themselves through crying. At this point. Parents must observe the child's bowel sounds. Meanwhile. children with enterobacteriosis may crawl to their rectum at night. They may also experience skin itching. irritability. and crying.
