Most of the time, the newborn baby eats and sleeps. However, if something bothers him, and he feels discomfort, those around him immediately hear his loud cry, which can continue until the cause is resolved. Of course, you can go to the doctors and take a lot of tests if the parents think that the child cries often and for no reason. At the same time, it is worth remembering that many babies can be disturbed by colic, and although this is not something out of the ordinary, they should not be ignored.
Currently, there is a fairly large selection of medicines that can help cope with this problem, but it’s worthwhile to dwell in more detail on the rather new Bobotik drug, which is being released not so long ago. For newborns, the instruction recommends using it, starting from the 28th day of life, however, somewhere at this time in the child the first symptoms of colic begin to appear.
What is the reason for this condition in children is still not fully known. Most likely, several factors influence at once, among which is increased gas formation. Most often, colic appears in the evening, they can be accompanied by a strong scream, redness of the baby's face, tightening legs. Almost every mother seeks to alleviate his condition, and in this case, it is possible to use the drug "Bobotik" for newborns. The instruction describes it as a medicine that reduces flatulence. This happens due to the main active ingredient, simethicone, which impedes the formation of gas bubbles and destroys them even in the intestine. Some of them are absorbed by the walls of the intestine, the other is excreted with perilstatic. This stops a large number of gas accumulations, which is one of the causes of bloating of the baby’s tummy and intestinal colic.
The drug "Bobotic" for newborns, the instruction recommends giving children as early as a month, and up to 2 years, the dosage will be 8 drops, which contain 20 mg of Semiticon. It is allowed to give medicine up to 4 times a day after feeding. Infants should dilute drops in a spoonful of boiled water, mixture or breast milk. Older children, up to 6 years old are given 14 drops. In this case, drinking the drug with sparkling water is strictly prohibited.
Among the side effects of the medicine for flatulence "Bobotik" for newborns, the instruction notes the possibility of developing allergic reactions. In this case, it is better to stop taking it and replace the drug with another one with a similar effect.
Since this medicine does not contain sugar, it is possible to use it in patients with diabetes mellitus, as well as with digestive disorders. However, before giving "Bobotik", it is worth familiarizing yourself with its contraindications. These include intestinal obstruction, sensitivity to Semiticon or other components contained in the drug, the age of the infant is up to 28 days of life. There is little information about taking the drug during pregnancy and lactation, so it should be used only in exceptional cases and only after consulting a specialist.
Some parents are interested in the question, which is better, "Bobotik" or "Espumisan." It should be noted that in both drugs the same active component, so the principle of action is almost the same. One of their differences is that the Espumisan drug can be used already from the first day of life, the Bobotik drug is a bit later, which, however, is not a significant difference. Both remedies help to relieve babies of colic, as evidenced by the numerous positive reviews of their consumers. The choice depends on the parents (of course, one of the factors will be the price), as well as on the characteristics of the child's body, which can react differently.
