Symptoms and Causes of Abdominal Colic
Symptoms of Colic vary from children to children. Some infants have irregular attacks that last simply in few minutes; others come out as a whole day pain. The most general expression of Abdominal Colic is evening delicacy after feeding. Newborns with Abdominal colic may have some gastroesophageal reflux but generally do not have vomiting, diarrhoea, constant abdominal distension or poor development. The existence of any of these symptoms should prompt a test or diagnosis for other than colic. Also frequently, greenish hard stools are passed at time of Colic Attack.
Abdominal Colic is general, as are flatus (gas in the intestines) and borborygmus (movement of air and some liquid in the intestines). The infant sucks with strength, gulp air; passing relief is attained, then rapidly the infant is grasped by one more episode of clear gastro colic cramping and ache, and start crying again.
Main cause of colic is aggravation of wind (Vayu). Other causes include too much food intake, flatulence, hernia, constipation, contact to cold/damp, appendicitis whose existence puzzled the matter but, since symptoms are relatively different in every case, so there is no complexity in allocating actual cause and position of pain. In Ayurveda, Colic is acknowledged as 'shula'. Food poising, Kidney stones, hunger are some other basic cause of Colic.
