Basic symptoms of sudden crying in babies at night

Many babies cry at night, which prevents adults from sleeping and also affects the quality of children's sleep. Many parents are particularly distressed by this. In the following article, we will introduce the reasons why babies suddenly cry at night.

Baby's poor sleep

Symptom 1: The baby is sweating profusely when just falling asleep or about to wake up.

Expert reminder: It can be said that it is normal for most babies to sweat at night. However, if you are sweating profusely and have other symptoms of discomfort, you should pay close attention, strengthen care, and go to the hospital for examination and treatment if necessary. For example, if a baby has a square head, late teething, or late closure of the fontanelle, he or she may be suffering from rickets.

Symptom 2: The baby is irritable before going to bed at night, and his body becomes dry and his cheeks become red after falling asleep. His breathing becomes rapid, and his pulse rate increases to more than 110 beats per minute.

Experts warn: This indicates that the baby is about to have a fever. You should pay attention to whether your baby has cold symptoms or diarrhea symptoms, and also make sure to keep him hydrated. If the baby really has symptoms of fever, physical cooling methods such as alcohol wiping should be adopted.

Symptom three: The baby cries while sleeping, often shakes his head and scratches his ears, and sometimes has a fever.

Experts warn: The baby may be suffering from otitis externa, eczema or otitis media. You should check the baby's ear canal for redness or swelling, and whether there are red spots on the skin. If so, send the baby to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Symptom 4: The baby's limbs shake while sleeping.

Experts remind: This is generally caused by excessive fatigue during the day, so there is no need to worry. It should be noted that it is a normal reaction for babies to tremble when they hear loud noises while sleeping. On the contrary, if they have no reaction and like to sleep normally, be careful that they may be deaf.

Symptom 5: The baby keeps chewing after falling asleep.

Experts warn: The baby may have ascariasis, or may have eaten too much during the day and have indigestion. You can go to the hospital for a check-up. If it is ascariasis, you can use special anthelmintics for babies to eliminate it. If ascariasis is ruled out, you should arrange the baby's diet reasonably.

If a baby suddenly cries at night, you should consider whether it is because the child is suddenly feeling unwell or because the child is frightened by dreaming. You should check all parts of the child's body in time and prevent the child from crying at night.
