Need Treatment For Gastritis In Baby
inconsolable 5 month old
My 5 month old baby has always been fussy. He had colic, he has reflux, and he just got diagnosed with gastritis. He currently takes prevacid, amoxicilin, and metronadolze (hopefully I spelled that right) he has for the past 4 days been screaming crying at night, like screeching. we just thought he was being fussy but nite I'm getting worried its something serious....I hate being the parent who over reacts but I honestly want to takehim to the hospital. would it be better to just wait it out and try to get him to his pediatrician in the morning?
