Brief Answer:
Colic pain and regurgitation will settle

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.

Colic pain is very common at this age. This is mainly because of the immaturity of the gut system, swallowed air and low lactase enzymes.

Regurgitation of milk is common in this age.

I will suggest the following tips:

1. Colic aid can be given three times a day too till pain settles.
2. Burp after each and every feed.
3. Try lactase enzymes like yamoo drops. 3 drops three times daily for a month
4. Milk coming out from nose and mouth is common. No need to panic.
If symptoms worsen or the child becomes dull, consult the doctor immediately.

Regards
Dr. Arun
