Suggest Remedy For Acid Reflux In Infants

Hi Docs,My daughter 36 weeks birth, ~ 2.2 Kgs now and one month now is having grade 1 acid reflux. Every couple of hours she generally clenches her fists and her eyes are stuck on one side with the legs straightened. She is on Lanzol (once a day) and Domstal (1Ml three times a day). She is having gas all the time, any thing I can do lessen her pain...
Thanks in advance.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Preterm babies often have laxity of muscles including that of the lower end of the food pipe which may cause the stomach acids to reflux. The acid is otherwise essential for the digestion of the food. The solution is not in giving Lanzol although Domstal may be given. The main solution is proper burping of the baby. Hold the child erect on your lap for around 20 mins after each feed. It should take care of the problem. If you put down the baby on the bed soon after the feed, reflux is not unusual.
