Intestinal colic is caused by gastroenteritis, or it may be caused by exercising right after a meal. Therefore, for symptoms such as intestinal colic, it is best to improve eating habits and take medication in time, so as to better relieve the problem of intestinal colic. The following is an introduction to the treatment methods for intestinal colic. I hope you can understand it and it will help you treat this common disease.

1. If an adult suffers from colic, he or she should first improve his or her eating habits and eat each meal at regular times and in regular amounts. Adults suffer from intestinal colic mostly because of overeating, eating raw and cold foods, and eating spicy and irritating foods. If adults do not pay attention to their daily routine and eating habits, which leads to colic, they should first adjust their eating habits. First of all, it is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating food, raw and cold seafood, and greasy food often. It is recommended to eat more nutritious green vegetables and fruits and light semi-liquid food at each meal. Don't eat too much at each meal, 70% to 80% full is better. Try to stay up late as little as possible, and don't overeat when staying up late.

2. When adults suffer from intestinal colic, they can take appropriate medication for treatment. When adults suffer from intestinal colic due to various factors, they can take some Western or Chinese medicine for treatment. Western medicines such as Metoclopramide, Metoclopramide, Famotidine and other drugs can relieve gastrointestinal spasm, regulate duodenal motility, relieve gastritis and indigestion, etc. It is recommended that patients take the medicine in the quantitative manner according to the instructions on the drug. You can also take some Chinese herbal medicines in a targeted manner after consulting a Chinese medicine practitioner.

3. When adults or babies suffer from colic, you can apply hot compresses to the abdomen to relieve the pain. When adults suffer from colic, they can fill a hot water bottle with hot water and use it to apply hot compress to the abdomen, which can appropriately relieve the pain caused by colic. When applying hot compress to the abdomen of babies, it is important to pay attention to the water temperature not being too hot. In addition, take a towel and soak it in warm water for three minutes, wring the towel dry and apply it to the baby's abdomen, which can also help to appropriately relieve pain.

4. If the baby is crying incessantly due to colic, you can choose to change the holding position to help the baby eliminate gas in the body. Most babies have experienced crying in the middle of the night due to colic. This is because the baby accidentally inhales a lot of air when feeding or crying, which leads to abdominal distension and colic. At this time, you may want to let the baby lie on his back on the arms of the father or mother. This posture can help the baby expel bloating and relieve pain. In addition, the mother can also use her hands to rub around the baby's belly button and gently massage the baby's belly to relieve the baby's pain.

5. When breastfeeding your baby, pay more attention to the baby's stomach capacity and do not overfeed to avoid colic in the baby. Another reason why most babies suffer from colic is that mothers do not pay attention to the baby's stomach capacity and often overfeed the baby, which leads to poor bowel movements and gas discharge, causing colic. Therefore, when breastfeeding your baby, you should pay attention to feeding your baby breast milk at regular times and in fixed quantities. After feeding, you can hold the baby upright, let the baby's head rest on your shoulder, and pat the baby's back to make the baby burp. This will help the baby's gastrointestinal digestion.

6. When feeding the baby, the mother needs to choose a suitable place and environment for breastfeeding, and also pay more attention to the baby's emotions. When breastfeeding, you should choose a quiet, fresh and uncrowded place. In addition, it is best for the mother to keep a relaxed and happy mood when breastfeeding, and pay more attention to the baby's emotions. If the baby cries and refuses to drink milk, you can use some things that the baby is interested in to attract the baby's attention and coax the baby to stop crying. It should also be noted that if the baby's body is cold, it may also cause colic, so it is best to breastfeed the baby indoors.

7. During breastfeeding , mothers need to avoid certain foods to avoid causing colic in babies. During breastfeeding, mothers are advised not to eat too much high-protein or gas-causing food, such as milk, seafood, soy milk, etc. Appropriate dietary restrictions can help prevent your baby from suffering from colic. In addition, when mothers try certain foods that they are not used to eating, they need to observe the baby's reaction when they feed the baby with breast milk after eating. If the baby reacts violently and shows obvious signs of rejecting breast milk, you can list the foods eaten that day, check them one by one, and then pick out the foods that need to be avoided.

8. If colic in adults or infants is very severe, the patient should be sent to the hospital for examination immediately. If an adult or infant suffers from colic for a long time, and the pain is very severe and there is often blood in the stool, the patient should be taken to the hospital for X-ray examination as soon as possible, and after the examination, he or she should do what the doctor says. If not taken to the hospital in time, the adult or baby's condition may become more serious and require more attention.
