colic (kol�ik) acute paroxysmal abdominal pain. Infantile colic is a type particularly common during the first three months of life; the infant has paroxysmal, unexplained crying and may pull up arms and legs, become red-faced, and expel gas from the anus or belch it up from the stomach. The exact cause is not known but contributing factors may include excessive swallowing of air, too rapid feeding, overfeeding, parental anxiety, allergy to milk, or other feeding problems. It generally occurs at the same time of day, usually at the busiest period. The parents need sympathetic support and assurance that the condition is not serious and most infants gain weight and are healthy in spite of the colic.
