Hello
Thanks for the query
Colicaid contains simethicone which can be used in infancy, other drug which can be used in infant is Dicyclomine (Colimex). Colicure contains drotavarine and it should not be used in infancy. So better give her colicaid.
Here are some suggestions:

Do not overfeed! Stick to your baby's regular feeding schedule of timing and amount of milk taken.
Avoid milk products ("you don't have to drink milk to make milk"), caffeine, onions, cabbage, beans, broccoli, and other gas-producing, irritating foods.
Take a break! When the anxiety, fear, and tension get to be too much (or perhaps an hour before!), try to have someone else watch the baby, even for an hour, and leave the house. Try to keep a positive attitude.
I hope this answers your query well
Wish you and your family good health
With regards
