Question
Why does a child always cry at night? Do I need to take him to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take for him to recover after treatment? What should I do in this situation?
Answer
A child crying at night could be due to being overly excited during the day, leading to emotional tension at bedtime and an increased likelihood of waking up. Additionally, this might be related to indigestion. If the child has eaten indigestible food or overeaten before sleeping, it may cause intestinal cramps, resulting in crying at night. It’s recommended to ensure a quiet environment before bedtime, avoid loud noises or intense activities, and don’t let the child eat too much before sleeping. Helping the child establish regular eating and sleeping habits can reduce instances of crying at night. If the situation persists or there are other abnormal symptoms, it’s advisable to consult a doctor or medical professional. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
