Question
When a child strains, they may tightly hold the blanket, clench their legs, grind their teeth, sweat on their forehead, and grip objects tightly. How can we determine the cause?
Answer
If a child cries weakly and is encouraged, such as by taking them out to play or providing them with toys or food they are interested in, and they regain their lively spirit and good mood, it may be normal whining behavior. If not, it should be considered that it could be a neuromuscular or skeletal disease, and it is recommended to consult with neurology and orthopedics for a detailed examination.
