| Summary: | Functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract in infants and young children are an extremely common problem, the diagnosis of which is based on the Rome IV criteria. Colic in an infant definitely increases family stress levels, impairing the quality of life for both the parent and the child. Infant colic refers to repeated, prolonged periods of crying, restlessness, or irritability in infants under 5 months of age. The pathophysiology of infant colic is not entirely clear. For many pediatricians, monitoring babies with colic is a challenge. Nondrug techniques include swaddling, prone positioning, rocking, as well as a gas tube. The possibilities of using probiotics, for example, Lactobacillus reuteri, are currently being actively explored. |
