Brief Answer:
try pantoprazole
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
From your description it looks like your son has probably acid Reflux along with gastritis.
There are few things I would suggest
1. Avoid late rising in the day. If stomach is empty for a long time it is bound to develop acid induced damage.
2. Late night snack with fruits or milk will help.
3. I usually prescribe pantoprazole around 20 mg twice daily before food to decrease the symptoms.
4. Restrict spicy or oily foods.
5. Ensure plenty of liquids and water.
6. Sleeping with a higher pillow will help in decreasing the acid Reflux.
Wishing your child good health.
