A severe paroxysmal pain in the abdomen, due to spasm, obstruction, or distention of some one of the hollow viscera is known as colic.

  • Hepatic colic – the severe pain produced by the passage of a gallstone from the liver or gall bladder through the bile duct.
  • Intestinal colic or Ordinary colic – pain due to distention of the intestines by gas.
  • Lead colic / Painter’s colic – a violent form of intestinal colic, associated with obstinate constipation, produced by chronic lead poisoning.
  • Renal colic– the severe pain produced by the passage of a calculus from the kidney through the ureter.

INFANTILE COLIC – Colic is defined as episodes of crying for more than three hours a day, for more than three days a week for three-week duration in an otherwise healthy child between the ages of two weeks and four months. By contrast, infants normally cry an average of just over two hours a day, with the duration peaking at six weeks. With colic, periods of crying most commonly happen in the evening and for no obvious reason. Associated symptoms may include legs pulled up to the stomach, a flushed face, clenched hands, and a wrinkled brow. The cry is often high pitched.

  • Colocynth – This remedy is specific in colic in gouty and rheumatic subjects, when griping pains forcing the patient to bend double or press something hard into the abdomen are present. It is a colic caused by flatus, undigested food or cold, or perhaps some violent emotion such as a fit of anger. There may be present diarrhea, emission of flatus or stool will relieve the colic, useful remedy in menstrual or vesicle colic, but in all the forms of colic to which Colocynth is applicable it is necessary that the nervous element predominate over the inflammatory. Indeed, it is of little use in inflammatory colic.
    • Aconite. – Inflammatory colic forcing patient to bend double, but no relief there from, it is only in the nervous form that pressure relieves.

Bilious, rheumatic and neuralgic colic. Pains radiate to chest and back; it is a most valuable remedy in certain forms of dyspepsia which are marked with much colicky pain.
