Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could it be that the baby's excessive gas is caused by colic?Doctor's answer:
This phenomenon is very common in infancy. It is caused by the immature development of the infant's gastrointestinal tract, leading to coordinated intestinal peristalsis at different stages of the infant's development, resulting in intestinal gas. In medicine, this phenomenon is referred to as infantile colic. It may be due to muscular torticollis. To confirm the diagnosis, a superficial color Doppler ultrasound can be performed. Neonatal torticollis is primarily characterized by a mass in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. If the ultrasound diagnosis supports it, physical therapy and massage can be administered.
