My 6 year old DD has begun recently (last couple of weeks) complaining about being sick in her mouth. It happens multiple times a day. She says it sometimes makes her throat sore. She also says sometimes she finds it hard to swallow mouthfuls of food.
I rang the doctor and the lady who answered said it sounds like acid reflux and the doctor would ring me back. He rang back and was a bit woolly. He ummed and aahed and said give her milk and yoghurt and ring back if no better in 2 weeks.
She doesnt particularly like milk so has a little on cereal. She does eat yoghurts and cheese though.
She is not overweight (just on the lighter side of average bmi), she doesnt overeat and is never asked to have 'one more bite'. The doctor did mutter something about gaviscon but didnt go into detail or tell me how much to give her. He just said buy some from the chemist. Which im fine about but the doseage for a 6 year old isnt on the bottle!!
Does anyone have advice for helping her. She doesnt seem in a lot of pain but its not pleasant for her!!
