The medical history will be obtained and a physical examination performed. Counseling and advice will be provided on how to deal with the cause of the crying. For bacterial infections, antibiotics may be prescribed. An assessment of growth and development will be made. You may also want to monitor the child's growth and development.
Home Care Follow the health care provider's advice for treatment of the cause.
If the infant seems constantly hungry despite frequent feedings, consult with a health care provider about the normal growth and feeding times. If crying is due to boredom or loneliness, touch, hold and talk to the infant more and place the infant within sight. Place baby-safe toys where the child can see them. If due to sleep disturbance, wrap the baby firmly in a blanket before putting him or her to bed. For excessive crying in infants due to cold, dress the infant warmly or adjust the temperature.
