Patient's question:
My baby was just born recently, and lately, the baby starts crying and fussing around 6-7 PM. I would like to ask about the reasons why infants cry and fuss around 6-7 PM?Doctor's answer:
It may be related to gastrointestinal smooth muscle spasm pain caused by cold stimulation. It is recommended to rest, keep warm, and consider visiting a doctor for abdominal auscultation and percussion tests, among others, to confirm the diagnosis. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment such as heat application, massage, or using pediatric umbilical patches may help improve the condition. It is important to check for other symptoms, such as whether anything is protruding from the abdomen, and whether the pain comes and goes intermittently. If the condition persists, it is necessary to undergo further examination.
