Continue for 6 months
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I understand that your daughter has dropped centiles in growth chart.
Sometimes reflux can persist even upto 2 years.
Dont worry, she will get better soon.
To answer your queries
1. Safe to continue medicine for another 6 months.
2.Try milk scan which is safe with less radiation to diagnose severity of reflux.
Reflux will not last life long , at the most till 2 years of age.
3. Thicken feeds, upright seating, and frequent small feeds will help.
4. Almost half the kids at this age are picky eaters.
This should settle as they grow, try allowing her to eat on her own.
Eat together as a family.
Am sure she will grow well.
Hope i answered your query.
Let me know if you need further assistance
Regards
Dr Arun
