Hello,
Colicaid drops contain digestive enzymes. Digestive enzymes are prescribed for long duration only in case of certainly diseases like pancreatitis.
You may give your baby Colicaid drops for few days for symptomatic relief of flatulence. However long- term use of these drops are not advisable. If baby is on formula feed you may try changing to some easily digestible formula feed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
