What should I do if my child starts crying?

It is very common for children to cry. In most cases, children only cry slightly, which generally does not cause much harm. However, if the child cries particularly severely or for a long time, he or she may have convulsions. At this time, the child will be unable to breathe and may not even be able to speak. This problem needs to be taken seriously by parents. The correct solutions are as follows.

What should I do if my child starts crying?

Pay attention to finding the cause of convulsions

Guidance:

1. Pay attention to finding the cause of convulsions

2. According to the situation, the baby was just 18 days old and had a little nasal congestion, so I gave her medicine. Maybe she didn’t like the food, so she wouldn’t eat it. Then I started crying and crying. His feet were straight and motionless, his head was tilted back, and his eyes were motionless, as if they were cross-eyed. This is a seizure. Considering the age characteristics, it may be a congenital heart disease. Transient cerebral ischemia and hypoxia during crying caused the seizure. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

This situation may be pediatric epilepsy. It is recommended to take the child to the pediatric neurology department for a check-up. An electroencephalogram (EEG) and a brain MRI can be done, and active treatment can be given after the diagnosis is confirmed.

It should be related to the hypoxia caused by the child's crying. Pay attention to coaxing the child reasonably and pay attention to the rationality of feeding the medicine.

Guidance:

Don't be anxious. Just look at the food your child likes to eat and give him some guidance so he can eat it smoothly. In such a situation, you should pick up the child and pat him gently. Don't let the child continue crying. The child is still young and his qi is not weak. You can press the philtrum. If there is still any problem, go to the hospital immediately.

At this time, because the central nervous system of infants and young children is not fully developed, they will cry loudly when they are angry, frightened or something they are not happy about, which increases the excitability of the emotional center and temporarily suppresses the respiratory center. Therefore, babies often experience respiratory arrest after crying for a few times, resulting in blood lack of oxygen and blue lips. In severe cases, the baby may even straighten his whole body, lose consciousness, and have convulsions. Most cases last for half a minute before the muscles relax and return to their original state. A few severe cases can last for 2-3 minutes.

When encountering this situation, you can quickly lay the baby's body flat or lower the head slightly to reduce brain hypoxia, then pat the soles of the feet or back, pinch the Ren Zhong point, so that the baby's consciousness will quickly recover and breathing will resume at the same time. The prognosis is generally good without sequelae. If the baby has frequent seizures and often suffers from brain hypoxia, it is not good for the baby's health and should be prevented.
