Pediatrician 's  Response
well you can give her pepsigard.its safe.it contains Oxetacaine (10Mg) | Sucralfate (1G).Oxetacaine is a local anesthetic for the gastrointestinal mucosa that maintains its activity even in a strongly acidic environment. Oxetacaine inhibits gastrin release and secondarily reduces gastric juice secretion. Thus, oxetacaine provides relief of symptoms, eg epigastric pain, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, eructation, abdominal distention, epigastric discomfort and unnecessary urge to defecate, which are associated with gastritis, digestive ulcers and similar gastrointestinal disorders.
Sucralfate protects GI lining against peptic acid, pepsin and bile salts by binding with positively-charged proteins in exudates forming a viscous paste-like adhesive substance thus forming a protective coating.
