Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Kids usually get colic around the age of 6 weeks. It can be relived by giving drops like Colimex-DF or Colic aid drops.
These drops usually contain dill oil and fenill oil which give relief from colicky pain.
Colimex-DF drops doesn't lead to addiction and dependency. And it doesn't contain any sedative drug to cause drowsiness in the child.
You can give Colimex-DF drops in prescribed dose whenever the child cries with colic.
And you can do gentle massage on baby tummy or hold the child in upright position with tummy on your shoulder which will make the child comfortable.
Kids around this age group pass stool once in 3 to 4 days, but as his tummy is soft nothing to worry. But because of not passing stool for a few days, there may be accumulation of gas in tummy and this will cause discomfort.
And colic, gas problems will settle down by the age of 3 or 4 months.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.
Regards.
