Question
The child has recently been experiencing poor digestion, with loose, watery stools. The use of Mommy Love did not help, and after changing to traditional Chinese medicine, the condition improved, but there is still an intermittent crying situation every other day. Last night, the child frequently requested breast milk. Could this be due to hunger or abdominal pain?
Answer
Crying may be a physiological response or a symptom of a pathological disease. Physiological crying can usually be relieved through soothing, while pathological crying may require medical intervention. Parents should first observe the child’s diet and defecation, and record the time, duration, and possible triggering factors of the crying. If the crying persists or worsens and is accompanied by other discomforts, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. Under the guidance of a doctor, further examinations can be conducted to determine the cause and appropriate treatment measures can be taken.
