What is a colic attack?

A colic attack is a sudden, severe abdominal pain that is often caused by a blockage or obstruction in the digestive tract. Colic attacks can be extremely painful and can last for several hours. They are often accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating.

Colic attacks can be caused by a variety of things, including:

Colic attacks can be treated with a variety of medications, including:

In some cases, surgery may be necessary to treat the underlying cause of the colic attack.

If you are experiencing a colic attack, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
