Reflux & Constipation = Good Times

Mrs.LLG · October 2009

So baby D has reflux for which the pediatrician gave us Zantac. Great! Problem solved, except that now he drools like he is teething and is extremely constipated so now I'm not sure which is hurting him more the reflux or the constipation.

Wish the nurse line would hurry up and call me back because the screaming is killing me. There has been NO sleep for him or me all night for the most part!

Oh no! I am sorry to hear about the issues with the Zantac. I hope he feels better so you can both get some sleep really soon!

Oh no, I'm sorry. ?I remember O's reflux was misery and we did Zantac as well. ?We had to play around a little with different prescriptions until we found what was right for us which was Prilosec. ?I hope the nurse gets back to you soon and everyone gets some rest.

Never tried Zantac, but DS was on Prevacid and we didn't have any issues with that. Maybe a change in meds (or something else) will make him feel better, that doesn't sound like any fun!

So they are calling in Prilosec, apparently it has to be made at a compounding pharmacy and the Target at North Hills is a compounding pharmacy - which is good to know!
