Pediatrician,  's  Response
This could either be due to her not having passed the bowels. It could, however, mean something else altogether. As a first step, press on the ears to see if she cries louder, as earache is the commonest cause of excessive crying in infants after abdominal colic. If she has no extra crying while pressing the ears (you can wait and do it when she is quiet), then give her one dose of a laxative syrup and see if, after opening the bowel, she stops crying or not. If this, too, is ineffective, please take her to the pediatrician immediately.
