Is it advisable to give Natrum Phos to a 3-month-old for acid reflux?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
My baby is 2.5 months old. He used to spit up a lot so we switched him to Enfamel AR formula. After that he stops vomiting but still spits up through mouth and nose almost once after every feed and whenever he does he wakes up from sleep and screams for few minutes. Spitting up bothers him a lot and it seems he is in pain after every feed. It disturbs his sleep a lot. I found that Hylands Natrum phos 6x helps with this, so I started giving him half tablet with every feed since last night. I have not observed any change yet. Should I keep on giving him? How much dosage? How long does it take to work?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Natrum Phos (Natrum Phosphoricum with alcohol) is a good remedy for babies suffering from acid reflux related problems. You can continue giving him one tablet twice a day (one in the morning and one at night). You will be able to see the gradual improvement in next 4 to 5 days. If your baby does not settle down in next seven days then I would advise you to seek the help from pediatrician to rule out any gastric disorder.
