12 Year Old Suffering From Eosinophilic Esophagitis And Acid Reflux. Stomach Aches With Gas. What Is The Treatment?

My 12 year old son has eosenophelic esophagitis and acid reflux . He has had a hoarse voice for a week now and complains of gas and stomach aches off and on. He is tired at night and goes to bed at 8:30 or earlier every night and still is hard to get up in the am ? Any if this sound abnormal or is he just entering teenage years?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
I would like to know whether he was diagnosed as eosinophilic esophagitis after endoscopy or clinically.And what medication is he on? His symptoms of gas and stomach ache need to be attended to .He would require some good antacid and anti inflammatory medications.And after starting these medications if he continues such behavior then probably it's psychological issues .Also just find out whether his Docter has given some antihistamine be oz if he is on then that gives rise to drowsiness so can be stopped after discussing with the Docter.
Bye
Take care.
