Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Mr XXXXXXX

If the baby is having colicky pain in abdomen which is presented as excessive crying without any cause (other things like hunger , wet diapers ,redness in anal region , are ruled out as cause ) in such cases colicaid drops can be given.
It will be helpful if you could provide me with the following additional information

1. What are symptoms of baby ?

2. What is the indication for which you want to give colicaid drops

Awaiting your response

Take care
