Gas Drops Treatment

About the Treatment Method

Gas drops treatment is a medical support recommended by pediatricians to alleviate the condition of "Infantile Colic (Gas Pain)", characterized by severe crying fits of unknown cause, lasting more than 3 hours a day at least 3 days a week, starting from the first weeks, especially in newborn babies. These drops combine the trapped foamy gas bubbles in the stomach and intestines, allowing the baby to pass gas more easily (through burping or farting).

Use of Drops and the Colic Process

Medical approaches to gas pain in babies.

The active ingredient of the most commonly used gas drops on the market is "Simethicone". The most important feature of this substance is that it is not absorbed by the body and does not enter the blood. It only shows a physical effect in the gastrointestinal tract and is excreted exactly as it is with feces. Therefore, it is extremely safe for babies.

Unfortunately, no. Infantile colic is the adaptation process of the baby's digestive and nervous system to the outside world and usually stops abruptly on its own in the 3rd or 4th month. Gas drops, probiotics, or herbal oils do not completely eliminate this difficult process, but by facilitating the expulsion of gas, they reduce the severity of the crises and relieve the baby to some extent.
