Brief Answer: Intestinal Colic Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for all the additional information. The kind of episode that you are describing could very well be a night terror but it would be too early to label her a night terror. But the other more probable causes are Intestinal Colic. Such colicky pains are very common in this age group. At times it could also be due to intussuseption, where in one part of intestine goes into another causing pain. During 9 months of age lot of development takes place in the abdomen and such pains are very common. They generally don't persist in adulthood, although they appear scary at night. Most of them are self remitting and it should not other you much. I have many such children in my clinic in whom I prescribe Colimax drops and they get well very soon within minutes. You may discuss this option with your pediatrician. Even if it is night terror, nothing much can be done at this stage and most of the night terror victims settle down with age. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
