Sudden increase in spitting and crying

[Anonymous]

My dd is 7 1/2 months. She is 16lbs and has been on 15mg of Prevacid
once a day for months. For the last 2 weeks she has had an increase in
spitting up. I give her meds in the morning and will see it in her spit
it up later in the afternoon. And this past week she has been crying so
much. She is
usually a pretty happy baby. She has a week left of prevacid and then
the doctor wanted to try and take her off of it. But now I am worried
she actually needs a bigger dose. I guess I just thought by now things
would be getting better instead of worse. Any suggestions or advice on
what could be going on?

My 7 wk old has acid reflux and Dr. prescribed him Prevacid. We had him on it for a week and his crying went up 2 octaves! He was in horrible pain! Worse then before meds. Dr. says he might of had headaches while on Prevacid. That’s one of the side effects. We took him off of the Prevacid after a wk and he is much better. We’re now on Zantac & Nutramigen. It’s only been a few days but things are much better now. Your baby might be experiencing the side effects of Prevacid. It doesn’t work for everyone. Maybe your baby isn’t reacting well to the meds now or the dosage could be wrong too.lfelix2008-02-08 12:50:29
