Infantile colic is one, which exhibits a symptom complex of paroxysmal abdominal pain presumably of intestinal origin associated with severe crying. It usually occurs in infants younger than 3 months of age. The important reason of this symptom is aerophagia. Infantile colic is defined according to wessel's criteria, but symptoms are restricted to crying for more than three hours a day, for more than three days a week, for more than three weeks. Ayurvedic classics describes the features of Udarashoola (colic) as the child rejects the breast, cries, sleeps in supine position, has stiffness of abdomen, feeling of cold and perspiration on face. |
