Patient: my son is two years old and has a developmental delay and not walking yet. when he stands on my sternum it hurts and it feels like it gonna break. he only weighs 25 pounds. I have also been burping a lot and I have acid reflux bad. been going on for 4 day and have not done any excessive lifting what can this be from. Doctor: Hi.The acid reflux could in itself be causing all the symptoms you are experiencing. They can include belching, heartburn, regurgitation of food or drink into the mouth, bitter taste in the mouth with regurgitation, sensation of lump at the back of the throat, dry cough, hoarseness of voice, etc. Treatment includes a list of dos and donts, but for now you can stary using 1 tablet of 30 mg lansoprazole once a day every morning.Best wishes.
