Reflux help!!!!

Looking for a little bit of advice please.

My nearly 8 week old has been on SMA Althera now for 3.5 weeks- massive improvements in tummy pains but that’s as far as it goes.
Prescribed and started Gaviscon 11 days ago- the milk sick up has pretty much stopped, occasionally at winding only. However.. he’s now constantly bringing up clear liquid, almost mistaken for water- he doesn’t seem in pain whilst doing it but occasionally coughs/chokes on it when it comes whilst lying down- is this from the Gaviscon??
I feel like I solve one thing then something else goes wrong..
I may be crazy but he was admitted to hospital Saturday night with a sunken soft spot blood gases came back perfect and overall observations on liquid input and output etc- all tests came back not dehydrated but now I’m blaming the Gaviscon after a bit of research but I’d rather hear from other moms.
please help me out it’s been a LONG 8 weeks😫💔

Would you consider trying an osteopath? I was skeptical (so skeptical it took me till my 3rd child to try it) but it was quite genuinely astonishing. Took a refluxy, unsettable baby there and brought home a chilled out human who naps independently. Took 3 sessions and we were off the gaviscon completely.

Could be coincidence of course but I'm a total convert.
