Is the word cólicas the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "cólicas" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the "s" at the end of the word is typically pronounced as a sharp [s] (as in "sun"). In Continental Portuguese, the "s" at the end of a word is almost always pronounced as a "sh" sound [ʃ] (as in "shoe"). Additionally, the rhythm and the specific openness of the vowels may vary slightly between the two dialects, but the word's fundamental identity remains the same.
