Colic is when the infant cries nd is inconsolable for 2-3 hrs and is commonly due to gaseous abdomen when the burping is not done properly. Please continue exclusive breastfeeding followed by burping

Colic can develop as early as a few days old, although it’s more common around 3 weeks. If your baby is only fussy when needing comfort or sleep, it may not be colic. Try gentle rocking, swaddling, or a warm bath to soothe her. If you prefer to avoid medication, discuss alternatives with your pediatrician.

It can be colic or not. Can give 1 dose and check. Try changing the environment of the child.
