Myson is 17 days old. His birth weight was 3.5 kg and had jaundice for which we gave him photo therapy and now it’s settled. From past 1 week he is crying continuously and not sleeping during day time nor in the night time continuously he is awake and he cries. We have started giving him colicaid drops have completed 2 doses of 2 drops each. He is super drowsy after that And he will not wake up atleast for 6 to 7 hrs.

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
