What is the best treatment for acid reflux in children?

Life style: First step for everyone is lifestyle changes, elevating the head of the bed, and if that fails, Pepcid (famotidine) is approved for children. Part of it depends on how old the child is. There are also pediatric gastroenterologist who can help!

Consider...: Diet changes and weight loss. Obviously depends on age of child, however increasing epidemic of childhood obesity is a major contributor. Consider ranitidine with your pcps input after lifestyle changes have failed to resolve.
