i am losing faith in my GP. my LO is 8 weeks old and has severe reflux to the point he is projectile vomiting after every feed, he is in pain when feeding and cannot be laid flat or he retches and then throws up. dr originally prescribed gaviscon which does work to a degree in that he’s not AS sick but he still had the pain and the gaviscon made him constipated so i don’t want to give it with every feed. anyway just before xmas the gp prescribed ranitidine with the smallest dose of 0.1ml as she was basing it off his birth weight of 7lbs 10. tbh it didn’t even touch the sides as he weighed at least 10lbs at this point but as we didn’t have an up to date weight she had to base it off the birth weight. yesterday we had a follow up appointment and i told her it’s not working and he now weighs 11lbs 10 so does the dose need increasing. she did her calculations and said the absolute max he could be on is 0.2ml 3 times a day. i KNOW this is wrong as i know a few people whose LO’s are on this medication and they are on a lot higher dose than this. also the instructions tell you the calculation to work out the dose per weight and i’ve worked it out that he could be on up to 1ml 3 times a day. i dont know who to talk to about this as it’s a small surgery and she is the only dr. should i just increase the doseage im giving myself or will a pharmacist help me if i pop into the chemist? in honesty i’ve been giving him more than 0.2ml but i feel wary of this as technically it’s against what the dr has prescribed
