Infantile Colic treatment in La Barca

Infant colic is a pattern of intense, prolonged crying in healthy babies, generally during the first months of life, without an obvious physical cause.

Common symptoms: Episodes of crying that are hard to soothe, often in the afternoon or evening, with the baby drawing up the legs, clenching the fists, and appearing uncomfortable.

When to see the doctor? If the crying is accompanied by fever, vomiting, refusal to feed, or poor weight gain, a check-up is advisable to rule out other causes.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician is the right professional to evaluate the baby and reassure the family; in some cases they may rely on a pediatric gastroenterologist. If you have questions about your child's crying, the best thing is to discuss it with a trusted professional.
