The severity of infantile colic varies and is usually a complication caused by certain gastrointestinal disorders. Treatment must be symptom-based to achieve optimal results. For mild colic, it is recommended to use gentle massage combined with dietary adjustments; soft massage can help relieve the baby's discomfort, while proper diet reduces the burden on the digestive system. However, if the colic symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention is necessary, including anti-infective treatment, to prevent further deterioration. During this period, keep the child as calm as possible, avoid excessive crying, and ensure adequate fluid intake to maintain normal bodily metabolism.
