Is there any medication I can give her besides Mylacol?

I don't believe that there is anything else to give her. My daughter was the same way. She had colic and she cried constantly for about 3 months (felt like 3 years) but the only thing that would calm her down and get her to fall asleep was a car ride. But as soon as we would get home and the car turned off she would wake up and start to cry all over again. I wish I had advice that could help you out, but I know of nothing that truly works. Have you told her pediatrician, maybe the doctor could suggest a formula that is easier for her to digest. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Well medicines should not be recommended on net like this nd more so for such a small child. I think your baby is colic and you should try an off the counter medicine, nothing to worry about and all will be ok by the time the baby is 3 to 4 months.

I have a 2 month old and I have used Little Tummys gas relief drops which contains 20 mg of Simethicone. It works good.

Sometimes gas is caused by the bottle that is used. (If he is bottle fed) or if you breastfeed keep an eye on the foods you eat. However, with bottles there are a few brands that have a vent on the bottom and they do cut down on the gas. My daughter had a similiar issue. Hope this helps.

I would start with methods that dont require medication - the best way I found with my little guy is to bring his knees into his chest ( fetal position) and rock his knees back and forth - warm compress on his belly also helps, like a heating pad (just make sure its not too warm)

You may need to burp baby more often. Some babie's are very sensitive to the formula they are drinking. You may need to see your baby's doctor, and let them examine the situation. The baby's formula may need to be changed to another brand. Who prescribed Mylacol? Also keep track of your babies bowel movements they get irregular also. I'd burp every ounce to two ounces at each, and every feeding. Burping makes a big difference. Are you over feeding the baby?

Mine was the same way and I put those drops in every bottle of hers. Of course make sure you push out the excess air before you give your baby the bottle. After she eats lay her on her back and rotate her legs in a bicycling motion. Most infants outgrow this around 3 or 4 months.

When your baby is feeding dont let it suckle, make sure it is actually getting its milk. Wind your baby properly after feeding, speak to your GP or health visitor about colic and see what they recommend

I would suggest seeing your pediatrician, there could be a many reasons for the gas and gas pain is not pleasant.
