What Causes Excessive Crying When Baby Is Not Eating, Sleeping ?

My 2 1/2 month old baby has been crying excessivley the past 2 days. When he's not eating or sleeping he's crying. He is formula fed and normally after his bottles we'll play for 15-20 minutes and he'll either stay awake until he falls asleep or he'll just fall back asleep. I've checked his temperature, felt his tummy, been watching for changes all over and everything still seems normal. I've tried swaddling, shushing, turning him on to his stomach, swaying, ovol, gripe water, distraction, changing his clothes, EVERYTHING and I don't know what to do anymore.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If the baby is crying excessively,most probably it is infantile colick.
Colimex-DF drops 5 drops every 6 hourly will relieve pain.
It spontaneously subsides after 3 months of age.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
