Question
A 33-day-old baby has recently been experiencing persistent crying, with the sound even causing hoarseness. Although it is generally believed that a baby’s crying has its reasons, parents are confused about finding the cause and urgently need professional advice.
Answer
Based on the described situation, the baby’s persistent crying may be related to abdominal discomfort, which could be associated with dyspepsia. It is recommended to use appropriate medication for treatment. It is advisable to give the baby warm water regularly. If breastfeeding, the mother’s diet should be light, avoiding cold and greasy foods. Abdominal massage in the clockwise direction can be performed daily to promote intestinal peristalsis, while also ensuring the baby’s abdomen is kept warm and protected from catching a cold.
