Pak Paed J Nov ;30(3):127-30.

This study was conducted at the department of child health of Khyber teaching hospital, Peshawar, from Jan 1st to Dec 31st, 2oo4. Sixty patients with infantile colic were selected for the study after taking a detailed history and thorough examination, to rule out specific organic causes of excessive crying. They were divided into two groups on the basis of drugs given (semithicone and herbal drug). Results were tabulated, compared with different studies and the following conclusions were made. a) Infantile colic occurs commonly from two weeks to 5 months of age. b) Infantile colic seems to be less common in breast fed as compared to bottle fed infants. c) Drugs have very little role in the treatment of infantile colic.
