Infant colic - the causes, symptoms and treatments - by Tina Allen- LMT- CIIT- CIMI: "What is Colic? Often defined as sudden bursts of pain, which usually occur in the abdominal region, but also occur in other areas of the body.
(Paroxysms - . A sudden uncontrollable attack; 'a paroxysm of giggling'; 'a fit of coughing'.)
But really that doesn't answer your question. In terms of babies, we know that colic causes babies to cry and cry, much more than other babies who are not suffering from colic. What are signs of Colic? When babies with colic cry, they may draw their arms and legs in tight toward their bodies and appear to be in pain. Or other times they stretch out their arms and legs and stiffen, then draw up tight again. You may notice that baby's face turns bright red from excessive crying.
