Hi,

My son is on 20 mg of Losec twice daily and hes been on Losec for a few months,hes just gone 6 months.He also used to take lots of other things such as a probiotic,Lactulose syrup for constipation,teething powder.On Friday night he got a terrible vomiting bug.As he was getting the Losec in pear puree we had to stop his medication as hes just started drinking proberly again and wouldn't have been able to stomach the pear puree.The thing is since he stopped everything his sleeping at night has improved.Hes much easier to settle also when he does wake.The only thing I've noticed is that he is burping more and he gets a sour face when he does so hes getting some heartburn.But I don't know if its enough to warrant putting him back on such a large does of Losec as I do worry about the side effects of it.Hes seems happy enough too.i was thinking of trying maybe some gaviscon for the heartburn.Has anyone had anything similar happen I would appreciate any advice.I think as well he may be still recovering from the vomiting bug as he was really bad ended up bringing him to the hospital.

Thanks
Hilary
