'''Colic''' or '''cholic''' ({{IPAc-en |'|k|ɒ|l|ɪ|k}})<ref>{{cite web |title=colic |url=https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/colic  |work=Cambridge English Dictionary |accessdate=2022-05-08}}</ref> is a form of [[pain]] that starts and stops abruptly.

It may be accompanied by [[sweating]] and [[vomiting]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Bhat, Sriram |date=2013|title= SRB's Manual of Surgery|page= 364|isbn=9789350259443}}</ref> Types include:
*[[Baby colic]], a condition, usually in infants, characterized by incessant crying
*[[Biliary colic]], blockage by a [[gallstone]] of the common [[bile duct]] or [[cystic duct]]
*[[Devon colic]] or painter's colic, a condition caused by [[lead poisoning]]
*[[Horse colic]], a potentially fatal condition experienced by horses, caused by intestinal displacement or blockage
*[[Renal colic]], a pain in the flank, characteristic of [[kidney stone]]s
