Brief Answer:
Try Rantac. Try Decolic syrup.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concern. The situation might not be critical but observation is required. You can try giving Rantac once again. Also give Decolic syrup after discussing with your doctor and see if the condition improves. If not, treatment line needs to be identified and admission for observation (not because he is critically I'll) is advisable.
Let me know if I could help further.
