Will Carmicide Drops Work For My Baby?

My girl baby is 2 months old. She had taken up a habit of crying insanely in the evening. Doctor prescribed Bonispaz and Colicaid as sos, but didn't work. Now she is on a 10 day course of Carmicide drops (5 three times daily); on her 2nd day. Will this work?

Hi....usually I do not suggest any such drops for this. This is called evening colic and is quite common in this age group. This happens when the baby sucks at the breast very fast and in eagerness to drink milk will gulp in air too. Unless the air comes out like burping or flatus this discomfort will be there and next time check if the baby is sucking too fast and gulping in air too. You will be more convinced. Usually I don't advice any medicines for this as they give only temporary relief.
The two best ways to relieve this distress is -
1. Do not put the baby in lying position after feeding till the baby burps out the swallowed air.
2. If still crying - put the baby in prone position and keep patting the back gently so that the baby passes off the flatus and gets relieved.
