Question
The baby started crying suddenly on the 14th day after birth, and two nights ago, it has been crying continuously. The sound is so loud that it has become hoarse. No matter what methods are used to soothe it, it cannot be calmed down. It also does not sleep well, and can be woken up by any little noise. Before, it could not be woken up even when it was asleep, but now it wakes up after a short sleep. Once awake, it cries fiercely, and its face turns red from crying.
Answer
Crying accompanied by abdominal pain, discomfort in the abdomen, hunger, or infections in the respiratory or lungs can be the cause. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the exact cause. In case of inflammation and infection, timely anti-inflammatory treatment is required. For abdominal pain, use an enema to relieve constipation externally.
