Gas/Colic in one month old infant
My one month old son strains and grunts, sometimes even cries as if in pain or pressure. This happens many times during the day and even disturbs his sleep.
Paediatricians had prescribed colic aid drops for any such issues and I have been giving him 3-4 drops daily since the past two days.
Stools are soft. He has been passing stools 5-6 times daily in the last one month and once since the past two days.
I want to confirm if this problem is colic or something more severe.
Also, what is the dosage recommended for colic aid in such cases? Or is there a more effective and safe medicine?

The strain and grunts that you have described are commonly seen in babies. These are normal and do not necessarily mean that your baby is in discomfort.
However, colic is common and manifests with continuous crying usually towards the evening. Colic aid drops are effective. The dosage you are giving is adequate. Also ensure adequate burping after feeds.
