Suggest treatment for vomiting in an infant
Patient: Hi, I have a 5 month old son who has reflux and has always been a vomiter and currently receives 1mg/kg Omeprazole BD . Because of this we started solids at 4 months in the hope that the thicker substances would lessen the vomiting. However he is still vomiting excessively and I d like to know if there is anything else I can do to decrease his vomiting? Doctor: you are doing right,, giving thicker feeds will help in reducing vomiting and using Omeprazole is also help in reducing gastric acidity,, mostly your kid might be suffering from GERD ,gastro esophageal reflux disorder.. kindly get evaluate for GERD, do not make the baby lie down immediately after sleep and do not feed the baby 1hr before going to sleep, better try lansoprazole, which is more effective in GERD.
