#asktheexperts My 27 days old son had a colic episode last night and colic aid doesn't work for him at all. Our pediatrician advised 8 drops when needed. he makes a grunting sound while sleeping and seems in discomfort with his stomach. Gas and Stool are passing normally. Any advice?

A. Colic in babies is a very common issue and it's matter of concern for parents as the baby is extremely irritable and inconsolable by most of the means. Exclusive breastfeeding with a proper bugupring and keeping the baby in an upright position will be helpful. Antiflatulence medicine like semithicone , probiotics and enzyme preparations may be helpful. Maternal lifestyle and diethary habbits are also contributory and important.
