Patient's question:
My baby is now over 11 months old. When she was one month old, she didn't cry as much. Recently, she has been crying more at night, especially at night when she cries more intensely. What could be causing night crying in an 11-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Crying is a common phenomenon in babies, generally categorized into physiological crying and pathological crying. Physiological crying is often associated with hunger, overeating, cold, overheating, and bowel movements. Pathological crying is commonly seen in digestive system disorders, such as diarrhea and intestinal cramps. In the respiratory system, it includes fever, nasal congestion, vitamin D deficiency, diaper rash, and eczema. When a baby cries, don't panic. Check if the baby has any of the above conditions. If the baby is crying intensely and you cannot determine the cause, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
