My daughter is 9 years old.she has gerd, 3 months back she was on prilosec otc for 14 days.but now she has again gerd. can i give her prilosec again or prevacid (lansoprazole). please respond asap we are out of home?

Yes,but: You may want to do some other things to help her avoid symptoms. Caffeine in any form aggravates reflux, so avoiding beverages like tea or soda can help. Laying down within 1-2 hours of meals increases reflux or drinking more than a few ounces at bedtime can also.Avoid spicy foods or acidic fruit juices until well after she improves.

Needs to see Dr.: Unfortunately, giving definitive rx advice over the computer is very difficult without your daughter getting an exam by a dr. For the time being, certainly avoid all trigger foods that can cause gerd-see the web site: http://www.Gerd-diet.Com/ then get her into see the dr. As soon as possible. Best wishes.
