11m hoary son sticking fingers within throat normally?
My son is 11m. I'm pretty sure he has tart reflux. Is it normal for a formula feed child of his age to still spit up often? He does drink table foods, and baby foods also. He go to the allgergist on the 20th with me. He is on Isomil Advance because he be allergic to the regular milk based formula. He doesn't drink cow's milk nonetheless. I'm wondering if he's sticking his fingers in his throat because of the reflux or if it's for some other explanation.
I called the dr department yesterday and the nurse said that it's probably just a behavior, but it could also be from his tummy bothering him cuz of the reflux. She also said to avoid citrus foods.
If anyone have any suggestions on what we can do for him or to stop him until he sees the allergist I would appreciate it. He isn't anyone treated for the relfux currrently, but I'm hoping that the allergist will do so. He does this to the point of gagging and choking. If you verbs his hand out he sticks it right final in. What to do?
Answers:
My oldest daughter did this and she have severe reflux. At that age, she was of late trying to reach where on earth it hurt. I suggest you call a pediatric gastroentrologist as soon as possible. Reflux contained by older babies can exact sleep issues, anemia, and food intolerences. Better to know for sure.
This is a situation that I would not ask others on here for their opinion.... Were conversation about the strength of your Baby. Only seek the warning of your doctors.. If it gets worse earlier your appointment goto the ER
He could have a throat infection or inflammed tonsils.Maybe try applying some of that non-toxic anti pin biting polish to his hand to see if the bitter drink stops him from sticking his hand rear in his throat.Just try to swing in near! Get him in to see the doc soon,maybe a culture of the throat is in establish too.Good luck!
