Does treatment with Dicyclomine reduce symptoms in infants with colic? I do not know what else to do with my baby. She cannot stop crying. I know that she is in pain and I have no way of helping her. When I was a baby, my mother gave me Dicyclomine for infant colic. Should I give it to my baby?

I do not know how old are you but FDA in 1950s Dicyclomine was regularly prescribed for infant colic. Few years after manufacturers stopped recommending Dicyclomine for infant colic, because some kids suffered from serious adverse effects. I think that you need to ask your pediatrician for advice. Some other drugs can be used for infant colic.
