I also just noticed he has a blister on his foot and now has rash on his face with pimples. He has clear discharge from his eyes constantly.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. Clear discharge from his eyes is not a cause of concern. The opening of his nasolacrimal duct might have not yet developed and a certain type of simple massage at the angle of eye and nose over a period of time will give him relief. For his acid reflux continue Zantac. But chances are that he is not being burped properly after feeds. Make sure that the child is placed in erect posture, possibly on lap, for about 20 minutes after each feed. In any case, keep his head end raised after feeds. Probably with such interventions his reflux would subside. The blister over his foot is probably unrelated. Apply emolients or moisturisers over the are. Hiccups and twitches during sleep are normal and you need not worry about it.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries.
