3 Month Old Suffering From HSD And Frequent Throwing Up
Hello. I have a 3 month old who has hsd to change her formula 6 times, she is constantly fussy and throwing up , sheblikes to get really stifff if I was to drop her it would be like glass breaking , she hardly has a bowel movement I just dont know what to do
Hi...by what you quote I feel that the infant is having sever form of GER (gastroesophageal reflux). The stiffening is called Sandifer's syndrome and in this they arch their back so much to avoid recurrent reflux and aspiration into the lungs. Your daughter will need - 1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics 2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly. 3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots. 4. This type of GER is the root cause for the constipation she is having.
She needs expert gastroenterology consultation. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
