Question
A 56-day-old baby has been crying consistently from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM every night since the Spring Festival, with the crying lasting for an hour. No matter how much soothing is done, it does not alleviate the situation. How should this be handled?
Answer
For this regular nighttime crying, potential causes such as calcium deficiency should be considered, and close observation should be made for any signs of fever. It is recommended to bring the baby to a regular hospital pediatric department for a detailed examination to determine the specific cause. Blood tests and ultrasounds may be required, and treatment measures will be formulated based on the results of these checks. In the meantime, you can try applying appropriate heat to the baby’s abdomen to alleviate discomfort. Wishing for the baby’s early recovery.
