Introduction: Colic is severe, often fluctuating pain in the abdomen caused by intestinal gas or obstruction in the intestines.

Causes: It is commonly caused by gas buildup, digestive issues, or in infants, an immature digestive system.

Symptoms: Symptoms include intense, intermittent abdominal pain, crying (in infants), and difficulty passing gas.

Susceptible Patient Groups: Infants are most commonly affected by colic, but it can also occur in adults with digestive issues.

Potential Complications: Complications are rare but can include dehydration and stress for both the infant and parents.

Treatments: Treatments include soothing techniques for infants, dietary changes, and over-the-counter medications to relieve gas.
