A baby came to me crying intensely and continuously. The family thought it was just gas and that everything was normal… But during the physical examination, it turned out that the pain was caused by a fracture in the shoulder bone.
My message 🧑⚕️🩺👌🏻: Not all crying in infants is due to gas.
When the crying is intense, persistent, or unusual, especially if the baby is in pain when a limb is moved or touched, don't just dismiss it as "just gas." 🔎 A physical examination by a pediatrician is very important and may reveal a cause that isn't visible to the naked eye.
Pay attention to your children's cries, because sometimes crying is their only way of telling us: I'm in pain. 🌷 May you and your children remain healthy and safe. 🩺🧑⚕️
