A member asked:

Can i give my 15 month old peptobismol? she keeps throwing up with no signs of fever or illness. we have checked food allergies, ans gerd (taking zantac (ranitidine) 2x daily). i cannot figure out what's wrong :-(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I wouldn't: Pepto has salycilates which we don't give tom kids under 16 because of an association with liver failure/death (Reye syndrome).Wet burps that do not result in problems with hydration often decrease with age as the reflux improves.If the kid is growing well. I would leave it alone.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
