Question
The baby cries and fusses around 6 PM, sometimes accompanied by tears, and no amount of soothing can stop it, lasting for over an hour. After a few days, the situation improves, but it soon reappears. How should I assist the baby, doctor?
Answer
Firstly, please thoroughly check for any abnormalities in the baby’s body. Additionally, it is recommended to conduct a stool test to confirm if there are issues like indigestion or other problems. If the baby has symptoms of stomach pain or bloating, consider giving them Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Huoxiang Decoction. However, it is best to have a professional doctor’s diagnosis. Furthermore, be attentive to signs of hunger, stomach pain, indigestion, bloating, dry mouth, and whether the baby is feverish or has oral ulcers. Also, check for any abnormalities under the armpit skin.
