Symptoms and treatment of colic in children?

About 10% to 20% of the infants had colic when they were young. Most of the infants started from two to four weeks old, and reached the peak at four to six weeks old. Usually, the colic would improve automatically when they were four to six months old at the latest.

Once the baby's colic attacks, it will be difficult for him to stop. The general feature is that the baby often has repeated abdominal pain and crying. The symptoms will be better in the daytime, but in the evening or at night, there will be sudden crying at irregular intervals, and it will continue crying for three or four hours. No matter what efforts are made, it is difficult for him to calm down.

The four main symptoms of baby colic are crying, red face, kneecap and clenching. The cause of colic is still not very clear, but the possible factors include the following categories: gastrointestinal discomfort, such as flatulence, intestinal spasm, milk protein allergy, milk sugar intolerance and swallowing too much air, or emotional problems and immature nerve development.
