Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux In Baby

Hi, my son is 2. As a baby he had quite severe acid reflux, we used gaviscon prescribed by the gp n he seemed to mature out of it by 12 months. He has always been an extremely picky eater and can pick at little amounts of food all day. I am now starting to think maybe he has either lasting damage from the reflux or maybe it was a symptom of something else? I cant seem to get him to sit and eat/ enjoy a meal no matter what i do tp hos routine he will still only eat a small amount of a meal even if i have made him wait a good few hours between eating.

antacid can be given however before starting any specific treatment we need an upper GI endoscopy as that would give some clue that whats inside and whats causing it. Till then you can try syr. rantac after each meal.
