Question
Why does my son cry when he leaves?
Answer
Crying can be categorized into two types: physiological crying and pathological crying. Physiological crying is an instinctive response used to express emotions and needs, which could be due to hunger, being too cold or too hot, being startled, or having a nightmare. In such cases, comforting the child is usually sufficient to calm them down. Pathological crying is caused by diseases such as fever, eczema, rickets, oral ulcers, worm infections, and intussusception. These diseases can cause pain or discomfort in the child, leading to crying and restlessness.
