Turns out she has RSV. My dr won't give us solutabs until she needs 15mg dosage. But I'll ask for them at that point if she still meds meds

Illness always causes all GI issues in my son to spike. Hopefully since she just has the one GI problem it won't be as bad for you as it is for us. I hope she feels better soon.

If she is having a lot of breakthrough reflux you can ask the doc about a breakthrough short acting drug to give on top of the PPI. We used to do Zantac when DS was a baby but I know there are other options out there just ask since a PPI can be taken in conjunction with other GI drugs. We currently use liquid Carafate (faster acting and more effective) for breakthrough reflux pain but have no clue if that can be given to an infant either way you need to get the Rx from the doctor.
