How long before the reflux meds worked?

DD has been on Prevacid since Monday (twice a day) and they seem to be making things worse.  Just curious as to how long it took the medication to help if your DC has reflux.

    it took about a week.  i also give her gas drops in every bottle - I find that when she is burping really well, she spits up less.

    That's one of the new problems is that she's stopped burping.  And stopped STTN and her spit up is mucusy now.

    DS was never on anything other than Zantac so I don't know anything about Prevacid. It did take about a week and a half to two weeks and the correct dosage before we saw a major difference.

    There are going to be days that are worse than others with reflux. However, if your DD is having mucousy spit-up and seems to not be reacting well to the Prevacid I would take her off of it until you talk to the Pedi. Have they tried any other medications or thickened feeds? I'm sorry you are going through this.

    Our daughter takes Axid, and it took at least 2 weeks to work.

    She was on Axid for about a week & I think it made it worse. She slept much better the FIRST night she took Prevacid. We started with 1/2 of a 15 pill but now she gets the whole thing. Her sleep has improved a ton. She was getting up every 2-3 hrs. Now she will sleep from 10-5 at least.
