Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First of all, I want to know if the baby has a temperature? If he doesn't have a fever and seems ok to you, start a quick checkup by yourself. Control for temperature, try to touch the tragus of the ear to see if he has any ear pain. Does he have a regular intestinal transit? Try to massage his intestine because it may help.
If you have checked all these, you may give him Paracetamol just to help him in case he has any pain or discomfort. If the situation is prolonging, then consult a doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr Elona Dashi
