Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
At this age babies may experience some coliky pains off and on. Colicaid can be given 5 to 6 drops sos.
Some body aches may are normal with babies and they may show some stretching of abdomen and body. More ever today baby has received vaccination which further may be causing some mild fever and bodyache which can be overcome by giving some 8 to 10 drops of paracetamol drops 4 to 6 hourly (calpol/crocin drops).
Is the baby is also experiencing cough etc then please write in follow up query
Hope the query is answered.
Please feel free for further clarification.
Thanks
