Question

Answer
Crying and screaming can be categorized into two types: one is physiological crying, which is an instinctive response, a way for the baby to express emotions and needs. It might be due to hunger, feeling too hot or too cold, being scared excessively, or having a nightmare. In such cases, parents just need to calm the baby down by comforting them, and the baby will return to a state of tranquility. The other type is pathological crying, which should be given sufficient attention. Any disease that causes pain, itching, or discomfort in the baby, such as fever, eczema, rickets, oral ulcers, worm infection, intussusception, etc., can lead to the baby crying and being restless.
