Child. Screaming In Pain, Pops In Tummy, Swallowing And Reflux From Throat. On Mild Semi Solid Food. Advice

Is there even such a thing as this... baby heartburn? The last couple of weeks baby boy has been waking 10/20 mins after going down with awful crying, I can hear the pops in his tummy and he's swallowing like something is rising back up in his throat, I've even gone back to basics solids wise and cut down on the veg , plain porrige only in the eve but it's still happening really really bad this eve, wiggling and screaming in pain in my arms. I've tried cutting out different things like his custard in the afternoon, any protien, just literally the stuff we started him on but to no avail. He's not vomiting or anything, a bit of spit up every now and then. It seems like the swallowing he's doing is like somethings coming back up and hurting him like crazy

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

Yes that could be because of reflux of food into the food pipe that is esophagus. A complete physical examination along with certain investigations will confirm the diagnosis. Medicines given to decrease acid secretion in the stomach may be required.

Do not lay him down on the bed immediately after feeding. Burp him properly.
Keep the head end of the bed elevated.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
