Silent reflux and mucousy/chesty/rattly sounding bub
Hi
My dd was diagnosed with silent reflux at 7 weeks (she's 3 months old now). That was about the time i stopped breastfeeding and started formula feeding.. I had attatchment issues so expressed full time the first 6 weeks. She is now on the lowest dose of Zantac (1.2ml twice a day) and it seems to be helping the crying/pain factor but she still sounds really chesty.
Most people who hold her comment on how mucousy she is. I've seen 2 drs about it but they say it's not a chest infection as it sounds clear when she breathes. It's almost like it's sitting in the back of her throat, but when she coughs (or even just breathing at times) its all rattly in her chest if that makes sense.
Do AR formulas help with this? Or should I go back to the dr and ask him to up the dose of Zantac? Or is it something else, like milk intolerance or something???
