Hello,
As per my clinical experience, many of the infants do
pause issues of reflux due to physiologic phenomenon of gastroesophageal sphincter weakness and others. My guidelines at present:
- Always make a habit to burp the baby for 30 to 40 minutes after each feed over your shoulder
- Do not allow prone sleeping after feed
- Make head end of the bed elevated for 30 degree during sleep
- Check that baby does not put fingers and other toys like stuffs in the mouth which provoke the issue
- Ondancetron is better option against the
metoclopramide to avoid side effects
Do remain in follow up with her
pediatrician for regular check up and discuss further mode of actions.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
