The medication maybe given. But excessive crying maybe a symptom of ear infection (more in bottle fed babies), colic, sometimes more severe problems like meningitis. If excessive crying is persisting. A thorough check up maybe necessary.

Yes, you can give if the child cries relentlessly.
These are a few tips which might help you.
1st of all you should know this is quite a common complaint in children of this age group. It is usually seen starting from 6 weeks of age till the age of 4 months. And mostly after 6 pm in the evening to midnight, sometimes early morning.
U try following things and see if it helps 1. Gently tap the baby after each feeds and do burping to take out gas from baby's stomach which baby might have swallowed during the feeding.
2. Take the baby in lap and rock gently back and forth
3. Use a good quality pacifier
4. Walk in the balcony or terrace with baby in free air to soothe the baby
5. Avoid overfeeding the baby.

It's may be colic. You can give occasionally spasmonil drop. Burp the baby well after each feed. Keep the head up during sleep.
