Question
An eight-month-old baby has been experiencing frequent night crying and abdominal pain recently. Parents have noticed that the baby tends to cry more during sleep at night and sometimes has abdominal pain. How should one deal with this situation?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the baby may be suffering from a gastrointestinal infection leading to enteritis. Currently, there is observation of mucus in the stool, along with crying, suggesting possible dyspepsia. It is recommended that parents take the baby to a regular pediatrician for diagnosis, and if necessary, undergo intravenous fluid therapy and anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, ensure the baby has adequate rest, avoid giving inappropriate food, and pay attention to keeping warm, especially in the abdominal area.
