Can reflux get worse?

[Anonymous]

Hi

I have a 4 month old lady that has silent reflux. He has been taking Gaviscon for 2 months and things seemed to get better and we were even thinking of stop giving it to him.

Last Thursday we all got a sickness and diarreah bug, him included, and even though he is better he is still pooing all the time and he doesn’t seem like himself.

I have noticed that this week he is again fussing when feeding and arching his back. Could this sickness bug have affected his digested system and get the reflux back again?

yes. viruses, illnesss, etc can all exacerbate reflux…
