Suggest Diet For Child Suffering From Acidity
my son is 4 yrs 3 months. He frequently suffers from acidity. First he felt pain in belly at 4 months age. Doctor examined and took ultrasono, but nothing abnormality found. He feels hungry at night. So, i give him powdered rice mixed with milk at night by bottle; and other food habit during day time is similar to us. But he likes to eat fried chicken, fried eggs etc. He suffers from constipution and acidity. Pl, tell me the remedity. Will i continue to feed him by bottle during night?

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.
I had gone through your question and understand it.
First of all, stop bottle feeding and give such diet by bowl and spoon only. Because, bottle feeding produce GI infections. So, stop it immediately. Also stop fried chicken and fried eggs and all other fried things to cure acidity as such food is very heavy to digest and cause acidity.
For relief in constipation, give warm water daily at night and increase of fiber diet and green leaves vegetables. If I would be your treating doctor, I would definitely advise you syrup Rantac-MPS (if no allergy), 5 ml, twice in a day at the interval of 12 hours for 5-7 days for relief in hyper-acidity. For relief in constipation, give syrup Lax-P (if no allergy), 5 ml, once in a day at night at the interval of 24 hours, for 3-5 days.
After doing all these, I hope your child will get well sooner and please share your review about my answer on healthcare magic.
Take Care,
Thank You.
