What to do about infant colic

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. How should I deal with newborn colic?

Doctor's answer:

When a newborn cries and is restless due to colic, you can hold the baby upright or let them lie prone on a hot water bag to relieve the pain. Applying volatile substances like mint to the abdomen can promote intestinal gas release, or administering a laxative enema may also be effective at times. If the condition does not improve or occurs every night for several consecutive nights, it is necessary to seek a doctor for a detailed examination.
