Which One Is Good Gripe Water Or Colic Ez Oral Drops?
Hi doctor, My son is 1 month and 17 days old. I have been giving him gripe water twice a day on daily basis. But recently I was advised to follow colic ez oral drops for him. I need to know which one is more effective and less harmful for the baby. Thank you.

HI...gripe water is harmless but scientifically no proven benefit. The other drops you are mentioning will stall the intestinal movements temporarily and so I do not recommend them routinely. I suggest you not to use that medicine. I leave the use of gripe water to your wish....but one thing is that, it is harmless.
