Reflux or CMA - advice needed

Hi there,
DD2 - almost 4 weeks old has suspected reflux. On gavison and ranitidine for past 2 weeks however I am not noticing much of a change. Symptoms other than belong sick and really dirty nappies at each change are wheezing/congestion especially after a feed and horrendously dry skin which looks almost like a faint rash on her face. She cries in pain after feeding.

My DD1 had reflux but gavison helped so I'm a bit at a loss this time round. I've heard GPs don't diagnose CMA easily.

DD is bottle formula fed on Aptimil.

It sound like cmpa boy I'm not an expert. Cmpa can cause reflux too (heart burn). Perhaps move this to the feeding section or the allergies section for more knowledgeable info?

Gps are supposed to be better now at taking this seriously- you could ask for a referral. The skin issue could be linked.

Especially with the weezing, I would say CMA. Allergy UK have really good online factsheets.
