Question
One of the three newborns aged three months has been screaming loudly and sharply during sleep for two to three consecutive nights. The screams are so loud that they seem to be in a state of sleep, and the baby does not wake up. Is this condition considered brain-related screaming? It has been a month and a half since this happened, and the baby is now five months old.
Answer
The above situation is not related to screaming caused by brain inflammation. Screams caused by brain inflammation are usually accompanied by symptoms such as loss of consciousness, coma, seizures, and fever. Since the baby has not shown any other symptoms related to brain inflammation, the behavior is not related to screams caused by brain inflammation. The above symptoms are related to the immature development of the nervous system, and these symptoms are expected to gradually recover as the baby grows and develops. It is not closely related to screams caused by brain inflammation.
