No mother will be indifferent if her child screams incessantly.
And all the
encouraging phrases, such as “Up to three months, all children cry,” are unable to calm and force to come to terms with the idea that nothing can be helped. Indeed, the most common problem in infants up to three months old, if there are no other diagnoses, is intestinal colic. This is the opinion of all experts. The most recommended and advertised drug in such cases is Espumisan. It suits newborns in all respects and instructions. While the
analogue of “Espumisan” can not always be given to the baby, since some drugs have a number of contraindications, for example, age restrictions, the number of acceptable doses, etc.
Causes of anxiety in newborns can be very diverse.
But in the period up to three months, the main task of the baby's body is to learn how to eat and digest food. It is not surprising that the greatest load is just on the intestines.
Therefore, do not try to instantly and thoroughly rid the child of anxiety in the tummy - this will deprive the baby's body of the necessary practice for getting used to and adapting. You will only make such excessive guardianship worse by provoking other, but more serious problems for the future. From this point of view, the recommendation of many pediatricians is the most true. Its essence lies in the fact that from the first day it is not necessary to give newborns medicines. It is necessary, as far as possible, to cope with the usual means of our grandmothers: stroking and warming the tummy, raising the baby after feeding, following the diet of the nursing mother, and so on. And sometimes the baby also needs to shout: how else can he learn to express his emotions and communicate?
But, I agree, there are times when you can not do without medical help.
It is a doctor! Because, for example, you can serve dill water yourself. By the way, the mentioned dill in this form is nothing but a folk analogue of Espumisan.
But if the problem is much more serious, then without analysis, diagnosis and a prescription, giving something to a baby is very risky. You do not want to make an experimental rabbit out of your child and test the effect of various drugs on it? Only when the pediatrician prescribes a cure for intestinal colic, you need to wonder what is best and what to stop on. It’s not a fact that you won’t even try more than one Espumisan analog. But if practically nothing helps, then this can only mean one thing - the problem is hidden in a completely different place. In such cases, absorbents, probiotics, or even complex treatment are more effective.
Another reason why young mothers are determined by the search for analogues of a medicine prescribed by a doctor is a noticeable difference in price. How much is Espumisan compared to other drugs in this category? On average, the cost of one bottle of 30 ml ranges from 250 to 400 rubles (30-60 hryvnias on the Ukrainian market). By the way, the analogue of Espumisan will not always be cheaper. A striking example is Infacol. But there is a cheaper drug, a favorite of many mothers - "Bobotik." It is worth noting that the composition of a number of such drugs is almost the same. Therefore, here the last word always remains with mom.
And in the end I would like to add that Espumisan is not only intended for newborns, it is also available in capsules for adults, it just doesn’t have so many difficulties and doubts. Do not be sick, and good luck!
