Question
Recently, a 5-and-a-half-year-old boy woke up crying and tossing and turning around 5 AM after his nap. When asked in the morning, he said he didn’t know why and claimed he didn’t feel unwell. What could be the cause? Thank you.
Answer
A child who cries in the middle of the night can have many reasons, the most common being due to a full bladder or diarrhea, discomfort in the stomach, or an uncomfortable temperature, or having a nightmare. It is recommended to maintain good living habits daily, take a warm bath before bed, urinate, avoid excessive excitement, and do not wear too many clothes. Observe carefully to find out the cause. The above is a suggestion for the question “What could be the cause of a 5-and-a-half-year-old boy waking up crying at around 5 AM?” I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health.
