The use of probiotics, new developments in the treatment of colic, and the significance of Lactobacillus reuteri DSM17938 in infantile colic are all included in this review. Since Wessel et al. published the first "case series" on infantile colic in 1954, the diagnosis and treatment of this condition have advanced significantly. According to the probiotics idea, infantile colic symptoms may be caused by aberrant intestinal flora, which can lead to gut dysfunction and gas production. As a result, the Rome IV criteria for functional gastrointestinal illnesses and the present Wessels criteria were able to be defined as the diagnostic standards for infantile colic. The current approach to treating colic has evolved from the use of probiotics to "gripe water." The other possibilities, together with their drawbacks and negative impacts, are also highlighted. Since its discovery in 1962 by Professor Gerard Reuter, L reuteri DSM 17938 has made a name for itself in clinical research. Several studies support the effectiveness of this naturally occurring probiotic, which is not only limited to infantile colic but also to a number of other indications. The World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) and the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition both recommend using it (ESPGHAN).
