How to Treat a Baby Who Has Been Uncomfortable for a While?

A 38-day-old baby has been uncomfortable since over 20 days, often straining with a flushed face and crying. The body is curled up, hands clenched into tiny fists, until he talks nonsense or has a bowel movement. After a while, the straining starts again.
