Some of the reasons for a fussy baby can be treated, depending on the exact cause of colic. For example, if the reason for the baby's fussiness was a formula intolerance, there are hypoallergenic formulas that could be substituted and given to the baby that could help in that instance. If, on the other hand, the issue is one of what is called gastroesophageal reflux, where acid comes up into the esophagus and causes what adults would call heartburn, then an antacid could benefit that baby. For some of the other causes of colic, again, there are other treatments. So it is important with colic to try to break it down, and understand it a little bit better, as to exactly what is causing the fussiness in a particular baby.
