Can I give paracetamol to the baby who is in pain from colic and constipation?

Question

My baby is 5 weeks old and night time he is in excruciating ￼pain from colic and constipation problem. Can I give them Calpol ( paracetamol) to reduce the pain?

Answer

What’s the reasoning for the colic? As there has to be a medical reason for it since colic really isn’t a medical diagnosis. 
And the constipation, is it hard pellet poops? If not then it’s not constipation.

Answer

Hit yes but I mean NO.
CONSULT DOCTOR.

Answer

Not without contacting your pediatrician first for correct dosing info and a green light

Answer

IT’s not recommended for anyone younger than 2 months and that’s kind of as a last resort.

Answer

Take him to doctor to find out why he's in pain and constipated. More than likely baby needs a different formula or if he's breastfed something you are eating is affecting him. I wouldn't give anything to a baby that young

Answer

It's best to call the nurse advice line and schedule a Dr's appointment
