Question 1

what to do if my toddler won't stop crying?

Accepted Answer

See pediatrician: won't stop crying is very different than "cries often" -- either way, a call or visit to the pediatrician is warranted to  obtain further information besides crying and to provide you with the best course of action.
Pediatricians are used to receiving these calls, you should feel comfortable calling them to ask.

Question 2

why does my toddler wake crying and vibrating all over her body?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Could be bad dreams.  It could be something called night terrors;  if he doesn't seem to know what's going on around him and he has no memory of the event in the morning, it might be this.  Or maybe the room is cold.  In any case, it's not likely to go on very long, and if it does, you should speak to your pediatrician about it.

Question 3

my 10 months old toddler is hot his temperature is 38 and his crying a lot?

Accepted Answer

Fever: Paracetamol or mefenamic acid syrup or suppositories to control the temperature and avoid possible febrile seizures is good first aid while trying to find your way to your child’s pediatrician or clinic

Question 4

toddler crying about icy bum after taking deworming medican

Accepted Answer

Confusing post: If this is about pinworms (threadworms) any irritation around the anus is caused by a skin reaction. The worms lay eggs there in a glue like material that triggers itching. Treatment focuses on washing the area &amp; applying a mild steroid cream until the irritation fades. More detail about what the meds were &amp; what worms were treated would help focus a response.

Question 5

my toddler of 15 months is not sleeping well at night...normal if i would offer her a bottle she would take it and sleep but now its different. she cries, has a brief sleep and wakes up again crying.

Accepted Answer

If normal toddler...: Babies more than 3 months old can be trained to sleep all night. A normal toddler (pediatrician can help verify normalcy) should be fine from bedtime (9:00) until breakfast (7:00). Parents can do the same relaxing bedtime routine each evening. Generally, they put the baby in the crib, say goodnight, and walk away. She might wake up off and on and cry but will soon learn to fall asleep by herself.

Question 6

wake up when i hear my toddler crying during sleep, should i go to him?

Accepted Answer

Nighttime crying: The first impulse is to rush to the toddler's room and pick him up to soothe him. The reason to respond is to make sure that he is safe.
If still asleep, leave him alone and just monitor these episodes. If he is awake and does not seem to acknowledge your presence, he maybe having a nightmare or night terror. Wait until the episode stops - he might just go back to sleep right after.

Question 7

my toddler (2) fell off a chair she was standing on and hurt her finger which has a skin graf on it - she is in lots of pain and can't stop crying i am not sure if it is broken or fractured and not sure what to do?

Accepted Answer

Xray: Hand injuries occurring in young children should be evaluated by an imaging test. Even in the image is negative, follow up with your PCP who will determine if further consultation with a specialist is required. 
In the meantime, ice, rest and a splint/dressing will help to immobilize the fingers. Tape the adjacent finger to the injured finger with adhesive medical tape and please see your PCP.

Question 8

good day,

my toddler is a year and seven months. he doesn't sleep at night. he moans for a while then goes over to crying. please help. should i change his milk? his eating plan? i thought by now it will go much better because all his teeth is out.

Accepted Answer

Bedtime routine: A bedtime routine should be established. Bath, reading a story and bedtime at a certain time that allows adequate sleep time.

Question 9

my toddler (19m) is teething badly waking crying screaming is there anything i can give him? panadol (acetaminophen) gives him bad constipation as does neurofen

Accepted Answer

Ice & Pediatrician: Intermittent ice can be soothing if the issue is teething. It sounds like a trip to the pediatrician would be advised.

Question 10

toddler was in a bath and got water in one of her ears. she immediately started crying but quickly stopped. it was a sharp pain. why?

Accepted Answer

Crying toddler: it is hard for bath water that splashes the face to get into the ear canal that is as small in diameter as a toddler's.  With a cry that stopped with quickly, my best guess is it scared her and as soon as she realized there was no pain she stopped crying.
