Are 4 month old baby is on nexium (esomeprazole) for reflux. he wakes up every night around 9:30 p.m. screaming. could the nexium (esomeprazole) be causing stomach pain?

Mgt: It may be related to his reflux. I would advise making sure that the medication and dosing is correct. As an infant gains weight, the dosing needs to be adjusted.
