I am the mother of a one-month-old baby who is fed with formula (Enfamil). To relieve his colic, Cocyntal was recommended as a first response. Since it doesn't seem effective, Biogia is now being recommended. Should I wait a certain amount of time between the two medications?

It is generally recommended to wait a little while between trying different medications for colic in infants. However, since the first medication did not seem effective, you could consider trying the second one without waiting too long. Keep in mind that there is no clear consensus on pharmacological treatments for colic, and some studies suggest that comforting the baby through cuddling or gentle movements may also help alleviate symptoms.
