Dr. Johanna Fricke answered

Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

For a specific : Answer, he needs to see his pediatrician. If it's from gastroesophageal reflux, there is medication management. If from something else, those medications might not help. As with any medical or behavioral symptoms, diagnosis drives treatment.
