What is the difference between colic and normal crying?

I can provide information on colic, but the search results do not contain information on the difference between colic and normal crying.

Colic refers to pain from the contraction of the muscular walls of a hollow organ, such as the renal pelvis, biliary tract, or gastrointestinal tract, when its aperture is blocked. In infants, intestinal colic is common, especially in those who are bottle-fed. Signs of colic include drawing up the legs, restlessness, and continuous crying. Colic may also be caused by spastic contractions of the bowel, enteritis, intestinal tumors, or certain forms of influenza. Treatment is aimed at relief of symptoms and may include muscle relaxants.

I am unable to provide a comparison between colic and normal crying. Would you like to explore other topics related to colic?
