Dear Lori, I am sure it is tempting to try an over the counter medication for heartburn/GERD. There are so many brands on the pharmacy shelf. It is really important to take your six year old to the doctor for a diagnosis and treatment plan. It may turn out that a change to the diet or eating habits will control the heartburn. If a medication is needed, your doctor can recommend the best type of medication and dosage. The medication may be over the counter or prescription. Jan Gambino
