Hello doctor... my 6 years old son is suddenly having heart burn/ acid reflux in the middle of the night.. probably some spicy food. is gelusil ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The age group: recommendation for Gelusil is 12 and up. You may want to try Tums, (calcium carbonate) if that is available and speak to his doctor about possible causes if it continues.

Can you have acid regurgitate without heart burn with GERD flare up. No signs of a cold, just bringing up white sour phlegm. Diagnosed with GERD 4 years ago, tried Nexium but never helped. Reflux left on its own. Now had anxiety, got pantazol?
