Hi. DS2 (5 months tomorrow) has just been put on losec for a little while to help him get through a new bout of reflux now he's started rolling... we thought it was all going much better and mylanta was helping enough, but then he started rolling and it got worse again with him not settling well during the day and having to have multiple changes of clothes again... he's not a classically screaming reflux kid but we do hear him swallowing it back down again and when he chucks it's not til about 2 hours after a feed and then you see the acid coming up with the bits of 'cottage cheese' in it...
So GP put him on a half tablet of losec once a day for the next 2 weeks to try to 'break the cycle' he's in at the minute... but I just read the fact sheet about it on the net and the list of side effects worried me somewhat... how do i know if he's having dizziness or nausea etc... and changes to sleeping habits are listed as a serious side effect which needs to be mentioned to the doctor urgently... in some of the other threads on here that one seems to be common... little ones being more wakeful... What have others experienced with the side effects and when should I be worried?
