What should you do if a child suddenly wakes up at night and cries uncontrollably?

Patient's question:

My child is one and a half years old. A few days ago, after recovering from a fever, they have been crying at night recently. Sometimes they cry occasionally, and at other times, their eyes are closed, crying very sadly, and they don't want to be moved or held. The more they are left alone, the worse it gets. I don't know what to do.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, the current crying symptoms are due to physical discomfort and other causes. It is recommended to pay more attention to the current situation. It is necessary to check with a pediatric department in the hospital in a timely manner. It is advised to undergo blood tests and other examinations under the guidance of the attending physician, and then make further judgments and treatments. Eat more cod liver oil and calcium tablets, etc. Focus on daytime activities, and avoid overeating during the day. It is better to have small, frequent meals to prevent the child from waking up due to hunger.
