If the child is able to talk or at least understands you – he will be able quite to specify where at it "bo-bo". If pain arose at the baby, it is necessary to distinguish that disturbs the kid, on the nature of crying or on behavior of the baby.
Instruction
1. The baby "will report" about a headache to you long crying which cannot almost be appeased. At the same time the newborn will draw in legs to a tummy, you will hear swirling of gases in intestines, the child will refuse a breast. At the same time you can have a false impression that the kid is hurt by a stomach. Actually physicians are sure - it is symptoms of baby migraine of vascular origin. More often it children with the increased intra cranial pressure have. During a headache attack any tension causes faintness therefore babies refuse sucking of a breast.
2. If the head hurts the child who is able to express, ask it to specify in what place the pain is more severe. If whisky disturbs or pain does not take certain place, so the kid, most likely, was nervous – had a stress, psychological tension or concern. If the headache is followed by temperature or concentrates in one part of the head – show the child to the doctor to exclude an internal hematoma or migraine.
3. If the baby begins to shout sharply after a while after a meal – most likely, he is disturbed by belly-ache. At the same time his behavior is similar to behavior at a headache, however at real "gripes" the stomach of the kid distends and becomes firm, gases at the same time do not depart. Signs of disorder of digestion, for example, a loose stool also can testify to belly-ache.
4. If the kid can point to the place where pain is localized, ask it to make it. If the area below a navel disturbs – the bladder infection is possible. From above a navel – an indigestion, gases or a stress. Pain on the right is sign of the child a lock. Also you will be able to define a sore point, by a palpation. Carefully press fingers on a stomach in different places. On reaction of the child it will be visible where hurts.
5. If the kid cries and refuses a breast, glance to him in a mouth. The white raid will testify to the milkwoman. At the same time it is painful to baby to suck. Shrill crying and refusal of a breast can be also symptom of otitis. Sucking causes increase in pressure in a cavity of a middle ear therefore the child just cannot stop shout after the first sosatelny movements. To make sure that you deal with inflammation of an ear, slightly press a so-called trestle - a cartilaginous ledge which is located before an acoustical opening. Strengthening of crying will be symptom of otitis. Remember that inflammation of an ear practically is always followed by high temperature.
