Question

The child suddenly cries out at night while sleeping, sometimes suddenly sitting up and then lying down, but sometimes they will continue crying, several times a night, especially in recent days. Laboratory and examination results show that there is no deficiency of calcium or zinc. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment has been tried, but the effect was not satisfactory. I hope to get some suggestions.

Intermittent night crying or whining, also known as night crying, occurs when children are in deep sleep. Children do not cry for no reason; if they continue to cry, there must be an uncomfortable cause. Chronic night crying not only affects a child’s sleep and growth development but also disturbs the parents’ rest. Therefore, preventing night crying in children is an important matter. There are many reasons for night crying, and it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to find the cause and receive timely symptomatic treatment.
