Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Regarding your son's symptoms, I believe he has abdominal colic. Please give him Hyoscine butylbromide syrup, half a teaspoon orally twice daily for one week. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent.

If the symptoms persist, please schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Thank you for using icliniq, and have a nice day.
