A member asked:

My son has silent reflux he has had a bad cough since i changed his formula should i use a formula with ha for allergies and he's on losec (omeprazole) 2 daily?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Hydrolyzed formula: Try a hydrolyzed milk protein or soy formula for a couple of weeks to see if this helps. The history suggests that he is allergic to the new formula. Is there a history of allergic disease in either parent?
