Gastica drops (which contain simethicone) are very helpful for gas and colic, but they will not relieve constipation or help him pass stool. Since he is straining hard, he may benefit more from increased fluids, dietary adjustments like fiber-rich fruits, or a specific infant laxative if needed. Please consult your pediatrician for a proper evaluation to find the safest, most effective way to ease his bowel movements and bring him comfort.
