What are the symptoms of a frightened child?

Newborns will encounter many things during their growth and development, and being frightened is a common reaction in infants. This is because infants will be easily frightened when they inadvertently hear or see something terrifying or loud. After being frightened, infants are prone to high fever and lack of energy. It can also easily cause infants to sleep uneasily, cry in the middle of the night, and appear drowsy during the day. Timely treatment is needed, and the baby's reactions should be observed more often.

Newborn babies who are just a few months old generally will not be easily frightened if they do not leave the room. However, if the room is too quiet and the adults speak loudly, it is very likely to scare the baby. When the baby is frightened, he will cry loudly with his eyes open at night, and no amount of coaxing will help. In severe cases, the baby will cry every few minutes, which will make it difficult for mothers to get a good night's sleep. At this time, it is possible that the baby was frightened by something.

The second situation is just the opposite of the first one. After being frightened, the baby becomes drowsy during the day and night, as if he can't wake up no matter how hard he sleeps, and he doesn't want to eat. At this time, the baby may be frightened. This is just like an adult who feels uncomfortable all over and wants to sleep after being frightened. This requires adults to observe carefully.

Some babies will have a high fever after being frightened. You can give them medicine to reduce the fever, but the fever will come back in the afternoon or evening. You can repeatedly reduce the fever, but the fever will come back within a few hours. No matter how you take the medicine, the fever will keep coming back and there will be no improvement. It is possible that the baby is frightened.

If a baby who is just a few months old is taken for a walk at night or passes by a cemetery, the baby will be frightened when he sees something unclean. Some babies will cry loudly when they see something bad. Maybe the adults don’t see anything, but the baby’s eyes are different from those of adults, and the baby will definitely be frightened at this time.

When a baby is playing, he may be frightened by some noise and his body may tremble or shake. At this time, the baby must be frightened.

For example, an older baby over three years old may not react at the time of being frightened, but three days later the baby will lose his temper for no reason, cry loudly and make you feel uncomfortable, and you won’t be able to comfort him no matter what you do. It is possible that the baby was frightened by something.

When a child is overly frightened, he or she may behave in two extreme ways. The first is that he or she becomes extremely excited or even irritable. At this time, the child's activities may increase, but as long as you explain and let it go, the child's mood will quickly return to normal, and it will not affect his or her physical health.

However, some children will suffer long-term effects after being frightened. For example, after being frightened, the child may be upset for a long time, or even very depressed. At this time, the child's immunity will decrease, his thinking will become slow, and the child's memory will be seriously impaired.

When a child is frightened, his heart rate will increase and his blood pressure will rise rapidly. Some children may suddenly feel dizzy or have palpitations after being frightened. Even if the symptoms of a frightened child disappear at the time, he may still develop indigestion or gastrointestinal dysfunction in the future.
