Colic pain
My 3 month old son frequently suffers from colic pain. I have been giving colicaid when pain does not suppresses. Due to colic pain, his milk intake reduces as well.
I want to know, if there is any medication (allopathic or homeopath) which can be given regularly and if safe for infants to overcome colic pain?
I have tried home remedy such as applying hing around naval area but that has not helped much.
Any guidance will be much appreciated
Thank you
