Is this Acid reflux?

By April Friday, June 27, 2008

my 4 yr old son coughs from time to time with no real reason that i know of.  Then last week his teacher at preschool told me when he went down for his afternoon nap his would wake after 30 mins make some weird noises then throw up a little in his mouth and swallow it again then go balck to sleep.  Is this acid reflux, what should i do.

Thanks

April, The symptoms you are describing are consistent with acid reflux. It sounds like a visit to your doctor is in order. Tests for acid reflux can be inconclusive (as I will document in my next SharePost), so you might ask your doctor if there are things you can do differently (such as smaller meals, and elevating him slightly during nap times) or medications you can try which might make a difference.
