Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The crying infant is a common presenting complaint and a difficult diagnostic dilemma that may represent the primary manifestation of a serious or even life-threatening condition. Although many children experience an exacerbation of the normal crying tendencies or minor ailments typical of the early months of life, a significant number of infants have underlying pathologic conditions requiring immediate intervention. This article briefly reviews current and past research on this phenomenon and presents differential diagnoses and recommendations for the evaluation and management of the acute crying episode. |
