Hi All
My 5 mo DD frequently (4/5 times per night and at least once per nap) has coughing attacks that lead to choking and gasping for breath, and has done for 3 months now.
Her GP prescribed Gaviscon for reflux, but she's in no pain and this happens when sleeping sitting up in the carseat /crook of my arm as well as laying flat and feeding doesn't bother her at all.
I've tried the gaviscon for several weeks buy now I'm going to ask for an ENT referral as I wonder if it's something from the sinuses running into her throat?
The choking is awful and truly frightening but doesn't upset DD so it's not painful which surely acid reflux would be?
Has anyone else's DC had the same?
