Question
How to handle newborn intestinal colic?
Answer
When a newborn is experiencing a colic attack and is crying and restless, you can hold the newborn upright or let them lie face down on a warm water bag to alleviate the pain. Applying volatile substances like menthol on the abdomen can promote the expulsion of gases in the intestines, or a bowel irrigation may also be effective. If these methods do not improve the symptoms, or if colic occurs every night, it is necessary to seek a detailed examination by a doctor.
