reflux question

littleheavenlittleheaven member
in January 2013 Moms
so the dr thinks all the coughing and mucous has caused reflux hence her puking
he prescribed zantac....and unfortunately he said the dissolvable kind isn't available anymore :(
for those of you with refluxy los and who hate liquid meds.....any suggestions? is she still too young to swallow the regular zantac you think? he prescribed 75mg
could i crush it up in applesauce you think? or could i put the liquid in applesauce?
like we have to wrestle to get her to take anything
i put the Benadryl in her night bottle the other night (yes she still gets a bottle at night what of it

    anywho
    the dr said it was ok as long as she drinks it all

    anyone have any ideas? i'm open to all suggestions

    however i somehow imagine that she'll like this...smells nasty but she doesn't like the stuff that smells good and she's weird...so who knows

    I had a kid with swallowing issues who didn't take a bottle so we constantly were dealing with liquid med issues.  I would crush the pill in something you know she will eat or try and hide it in her nightitme bottle.  FYI liquid zantac tends to be rather strong flavored, minty I think so it is hard to hide in things.  If I remember correctly some parents said their pharmacy agreed to mix it in something more palatable so their kids would take it.  We did the syringe method but a lot got spit out.  That (along with severity) is why we use prevacid now - dissolvable tablet is so much easier to take. :)
