My son is 4months old and 9lds and had surgery on his esophagus the day after he was born to connect it to his stomach. He knows how HORRIBLE acid reflux because he has no flap keeping the acid down. He is on 1.5ML of prevacid once a day in the morning. He spits up still all the time and sometimes it comes out of his nose and of course he screams in pain. we keep him elevated at all times. am i giving him enough medicine?
