Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Is Constant Stomach And Chest Pain In A Child With No Help From Zantac Be Serious?
My 12 year old daughter complains with constant stomach pain and chest pain. A couple weeks ago her pediatrician put her on zantac. It doesn't seem to help. Should I be worried that it is something other than heartburn or reflux and take her to a different doctor?
HI...by what you quote I feel that the infant is having severe form of GER (gastroesophageal reflux). Your daughter will need - 1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics 2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly. 3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
