Q.

My baby is 1 month old. He has trouble sleeping during nights. Mostly due to stomach ache. After consulting doctor, he has been prescribed with "Dicyclomine hydro chloride and Simethicone" drops, 0.3 ml when in discomfort. However we were just checking online and it is reported not to use Dicyclomine in infants under 6 mnth. could someone pls suggest.??

A. go for only simethicone content from your history it appears that your child is having colic pain due to gas in abdomen in colic pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes. do not keep the child back on the bed after one burping (all gas is not removed with one burping) during the colic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also. advisable to learn more about it from your doctor

A. Himalaya Bonnie spaz Five drops you can give to the child maximum four times in a day this is one of the safest medicines that you can give to your child for stomach pain you are and I would like to tell you that colic pain is the most common issue with kids at this age so this is the safest medicine and maybe what you have read online is right but you actually cannot completely trust everything that you read online
