#asktheexperts baby cries a lot due to gas. can we give bonnisan drops? please advise qty

Question

Accepted Answer

can give 
it is important for you to understand that any medicine except multivitamins which is given to children have side effects on the child.
they should not be given on daily basis but should be given only when required.
meet your doctor who will tell you what is the indication and how many times it can be given.
(this applies to anti-colic medicines as well as digestive medicines/ enzymes, gripe water, bonnisan, gutti etc of any branch that is allopathic or homoeopathic or ayurvedic).
 
the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach.
it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
 should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not removed properly it will lead to 
colic pain and more hiccups again and again.
keep the child inc upright position whether you hear the burping sound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sound when the child removes the air from the oral cavity
