Hello, a baby with colic needs to know the age group as well as the time when the pain occurs. Your question lacks too much data to have an exact answer, so I only advise the tests that can be done when the baby goes to the doctor because of colic:
General abdominal ultrasound: Survey of the inflamed appendix, Tumors, intra-abdominal lymphadenitis or early detection of intussusception... Abdominal radiograph unprepared: Detecting conditions of perforation of hollow viscera, intestinal obstruction Gastroduodenal-colonoscopy: Detecting masses Tumors, ulcers ... in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract CT-scan of the abdomen: Assess the extent of tumor invasion, detect abnormalities that have not been detected by abdominal ultrasound and x-ray. In addition, many children have abdominal pain because of parasitic infections, so sometimes they need to take blood to test for worms and flukes.
