Is it normal for a child's face to turn red when they cry?

Patient's question:

Why do two more babies turn red when crying, and their faces turn slightly red and black when exerting effort? What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

When a baby cries, they use up all their strength, and their capillaries are very fragile, especially around the eyes. Therefore, small bleeding spots from capillaries often appear after frequent crying. It's okay; they usually absorb the next day. If there's difficulty breathing during crying, it's necessary to take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment. I suggest you observe more closely. The baby is still young, and care is very important. Please pay close attention to any changes in the baby.
