Question
A 56-day-old baby has been experiencing a crying spell every night from 8:00 to 12:00, lasting for an hour, and no amount of soothing can alleviate the situation. What could be the reasons for this?
Answer
This situation should consider potential factors such as calcium deficiency, while closely observing for signs of fever. It is recommended that parents take the baby to a regular hospital pediatric department for a detailed examination to determine the specific cause. The diagnosis may include blood tests, ultrasounds, and treatment plans will be formulated based on the results. In the meantime, you can try gently applying heat to the baby’s abdomen to relieve discomfort. Wishing for the baby’s early recovery.
