Question
A three-year-old child often cries at night and refuses to eat, prompting parents to seek medical advice.
Answer
A child crying at night and refusing to eat may be due to gastrointestinal issues, possibly caused by improper diet or exposure to cold leading to intestinal cramps. If the child’s mental state is good, the problem is usually not serious. However, it could also be due to other inflammatory conditions. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a detailed examination, including trace element testing, to determine if there is a deficiency in certain nutrients and to supplement them in a timely manner.
