If trying different things at home doesn’t help, the doctor might give your little one some medicine to help their tummy feel better. These medicines help to calm down the tummy acid.
-
Over the counter antacids
-
H2 blockers
-
Proton pump inhibitors
-
Prokinetics
If the medicine doesn’t work really well, or if your kiddo is super uncomfortable, the doctor might suggest a tiny operation. A special doctor for kids’ tummies will do it.
Remember, it’s always best to talk to the doctor before giving your child any medicine.
