A. your child is having colic which is causing such behaviour. colic is quite common in children before 6 months of age. the usually start after 3 weeks of age. you can give drops gastica or colicaid to the child 0.5 ml if the child is crying for more than 15 to 20 minutes due to colic pain. limb cycling movements as well as tummy time will help. to prevent colic pain kindly do burping for 15 to 20 minutes azfter every feed and do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because all the gas is not removed after one burping.

A. Colicaid Uses Anti-flatulent and antispasmodic properties are found in Colicaid Drops. It is mainly used in babies to treat stomach problems, indigestion, and spasmodic attacks. The medication aids in the release of trapped gas and reduces the associated pain.
