Question
A two-month-old baby turns red on the face when crying, and shows alternating red and black changes when exerting effort. Is this situation normal?
Answer
When a baby cries, they exert themselves to the fullest. Due to their fragile capillaries, especially around the eyes, they often develop small capillary hemorrhages after intense crying. This condition is usually harmless and will naturally absorb by the next day. However, if the baby shows signs of respiratory discomfort during crying, it should be taken to a doctor for immediate examination. It is recommended that parents closely monitor any changes in their baby, as infant care is crucial and continuous attention to the baby’s overall condition is necessary.
