No mother will remain indifferent if her child screams incessantly.
And all the encouraging phrases, like "Until three months, all children scream" - unable to calm and make reconcile with the idea that nothing can help. Indeed, the most common problem in infants up to three months, if there are no other diagnoses, is intestinal colic. All experts agree on this. The most recommended and advertised drug in such cases is Espumizan. It is suitable for newborns in all respects and instructions. Whereas the analogue of "Espumizan" can not always be given to a baby, since some drugs have a number of contraindications, for example, age restrictions, the number of allowable doses, etc.
The 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. No wonder that the greatest load is justto the intestines.
Therefore, do not try to immediately 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. With such overprotection, you will only make things worse, provoking other, but more serious problems for the future. From this point of view, the recommendation of many pediatricians is the most correct. Its essence lies in the fact that it is not necessary to give newborn drugs from the first day. 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, keeping the nursing mother on a diet, and so on. Yes, 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 medical assistance is indispensable.
Exactly medical! Because, for example, you can serve dill water on your own. By the way, the aforementioned dill in this form is nothing more than a folk analogue of "Espumizan".
But if the problem is much more serious, then it is very risky to give anything to a baby without an analysis, diagnosis and drug prescription. You do not want to make a guinea pig out of your child and test the effect of all kinds of drugs on him? Only when a pediatrician prescribes a remedy for intestinal colic, it is necessary to wonder what is best for and where to stop. It's not a fact that you won't even tryone analogue of "Espumisan". 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 looking for analogues of a medicine prescribed by a doctor is a tangible difference in price. How much does Espumizan cost compared to other drugs in this category? On average, the cost of one bottle of 30 ml ranges from 250 to 400 rubles (on the Ukrainian market - 30-60 hryvnia). By the way, the analogue of "Espumizan" will not always be cheaper. A striking example is Infacol. But there is also 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 the mother.
And in the end I would like to add that "Espumizan" is intended not only for newborns, it is also available in capsules for adults, it's just that there are not so many difficulties and doubts here. Stay safe and good luck!
