| Video Discription | What are Colic is very well known by parents as well as with doctors and we have been treated this for many years or decade as well. So it is something like a gripping pain in the abdomen of the baby because of which the baby becomes very uncomfortable and the baby may cry excessively. Generally this happens after the 3rd or the 4th week of life . It stays for a few months and then spontaneously resolves. There are a lot of misconceptions also in the mind of the parents. Sometimes peool feel that because of the diet of the mother the colic is caused. When it is scientifically proven that this is it not so. Certain remedies or measures can be done to control the colic, that is giving the baby some time known as the tummy time in which you place the baby on the baby’s abdomen however the baby should be supervised when we keep the baby in this kind of position. Secondly giving a little bit of an oil massage and a quick bath even in the evening time, that also smoothens and helps the baby. Lot of medicines are available. There are crude things like gripe water ad gutti which claim to give relief. But they have not been found to have much use and sometimes they can even be harmful. So use of such kind of remedies should be discouraged. There are certain kind of carminatives available which can be used but it has to be prescribed by qualified doctor and most f the time you need to reassure the parents that this is a harmless condition and it is not good to cause harm to the baby. So holding the baby in an upright position, rocking the baby gently, fermentation of abdomen and use of carminative medicines these sometimes help and prevention. I don’t think 100% prevention is not possible cause babies have a lot of gas and sometimes this does cause a lot of discomfort. So it is not completely possible to prevent this. But we can use some measures to relieve the baby to relieve the baby of the pain. |
