My 23 month old son is currently being treated for his second pneumonia in 3 months. The antibiotics work wonders though! He was diagnosed with asthma at 15 months and has had several severe asthma responses each time he has gotten a cold. We have been hospitalized twice in 4 months!
Our saving grace was seeing a pulmonolgist who changed our treatment plan and gave us an aggressive sick plan. Despite pneumonia twice, we have not been hospitalized since.
In reading about asthma and recurrent pneumonia, I learned of the association between reflux and both asthma and pneumonia. I would have never thought my son had reflux issues, until I read about how varied the symptoms are and how difficult a diagnoses may be.
The only two symptoms that I can assume may be reflux are that every once in a while he wakes up inconsolable from nap or in the middle of the night. It is very out of character and started at 9 months well before night terrors. The second symptom would be his constant post nasal that takes a long time to clear up whenever he gets a cold.
What exactly is silent GER?
