- Lie down and put a warm hot water bottle or electric pillow on your stomach.
- If the pain persists after an hour, call an ambulance.
- If the pain has subsided and you are feeling better, take a tablet or suppository tablet or suppository every day for 1-2 weeks.
- Follow a strict diet for 1-2 days after an attack of colic, preferably a semi-liquid (pulp) or liquid diet (tea, chamomile infusion).
- When your he alth and well-being improve significantly, switch to a slightly digestible diet. Start eating gruels, small amounts of white bread and cooked vegetables - preferably carrots. Gradually, but only after a few days, expand your menu with boiled lean meat (poultry, veal), boiled or stewed vegetables, rice, easily digestible groats (e.g. semolina).
After a colic attack, be sure to see a doctor!
Contact your doctor after a colic attack. Tell me what symptoms you had during the colic attack. Perhaps your doctor will decide that it is necessary to remove the gallbladder. Then he will issue a referral to the hospital for an elective surgery.
