Dear Patient,
Colic is common in infants around 2 to 4 months of age and is usually due to immature gut function and gas formation. It typically presents with episodes of crying abdominal discomfort and leg flexion. This condition is self limiting and improves as the baby grows.
Colic aid drops can be given when symptoms occur and are generally safe in recommended dosage. Using once daily for symptomatic relief is acceptable for a short period. Continuous long term use should be avoided unless advised by a doctor.
Advice
Ensure proper burping after every feed
Feed in semi upright position
Gentle abdominal massage and leg cycling may help relieve gas
Check proper breastfeeding latch
consult me if
Persistent excessive crying poor feeding vomiting fever or poor weight gain
Abdominal distension or blood in stool
Most infants improve gradually by 4 to 5 months of age.
