What Should I Give To My Son As He Is Burping A Lot?

My two and a half year old seems to be having acid reflux like symptoms. He has been burping a lot, and making faces like he thinks he is going to vomit, as well as it sounds like something is coming up when he burps. What can I give him to help with this?

Hi, esophageal reflux is common in children. Start giving him Syrup Rantac 1 ml twice a day 30 minutes before food. Also dietary modification is required in such cases. Avoid spicy and oily stuff. Give more of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Antioxidants help prevent mucosal damage to the esophagus due to reflux. Start syrup Bcomplex like syrup A to Z 5 ml twice daily. Avoid liquid stuff before going to bed and avoid hot beverages especially before sleep time.
Thanks and regards.
