My 2-month-old baby has intense crying spells every night that last for up to 4 hours. During these episodes, his face turns dark red, and he tenses or stretches his body as if in severe pain.I can hear audible gas sounds in his stomach within 2–3 minutes of latching, which immediately leads to loud, inconsolable crying.I have been using Colicaid daily to calm him down. While it helps within 30 minutes, I am concerned about the safety and necessity of giving this medication every day for an extended period. The crying is so loud and persistent that standard soothing techniques do not work, and I feel helpless in managing his pain. Please advice.
