Reflux in this age group is not treated as this is physiological due to decreased tone of LES,this improves as the child grows

It can be given to babies at this age. But reflux only needs to be treated if there is weight loss or is severe. Please take a second opinion if you feel

Consult face to face to nearest doctor,,, look what are the factor causing repeated reflux... Most of the times, burping issue, nasal block and aerophagy may cause disturbance. So consult to nearest clinic. And nexpro junior you can give (half sachet or 1/4th sachet is suffice) only limited PPI ar advisble in below one year,,,esomeprazole is one of them. I gram sachet contain 10mg,, we can give 2.5 to 5mg.
Next Steps
write other findings as GERD is significant problem in children
Health Tips
burp at least 15 minutes.
