Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has a normal appetite. There are no other obvious abnormalities, but she sometimes shivers. What could be the reason for a baby to scream and cry while sleeping at night?
Answer
The pain could be due to stomach cramps caused by catching a cold, possibly alleviated by using a hot water bottle externally or drinking ginger-sweetened red sugar water. It’s important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink plenty of water.
