Zantac pediatric dosing
Common Questions and Answers about Zantac pediatric dosing
zantac
My doctor refused a referal to a Pediatric GI specialist, and refused to switch from Zantac to a PPI. My doctor pretty much said the reasons behind my childs behavior is due to over feeding....I was not happy to say the least. So in an outrage I packed a diaper bag, made some bottles and flew my hiney to the closest ER with Conner.
My husband was diagnosed with a condition called neurogenic cough. It has been described as a chronic cough where the nerve that provides sensation to the voicebox and is responsible for triggering the cough reflex has been injured, usually by a virus. When this happens, the nerve's level of sensitivity before it triggers the cough reflex becomes markedly reduced; in other words, it becomes hyper-sensitive.
I do not experience what you describe. Do you take medicine? Had recent labs to know if dosing is correct? As for burping, GERD can be attributed to/aggravated by thyroid problems. Maybe burping is a symptom of GERD. You might talk to your doctor about a trial of Zantac or other appropriate medicine.
My two year old had reflux really bad was less than 5th percentile until she hit about 15 months...luckily Zantac worked wonders for her at 10 days old and she was on it till about 15 months...we just had to get her weighed regularly to adjust the doses.
Abby is a month old...has the same reflux issues except the Zantac hasnt worked and now the Previcid isnt working. We have to take her monday to see a pediatric GI dr. WTF?!?! I was hoping my first was a fluke thing...
My daughter is 5 yrs old. She has been having abdominal pain, stomach aches for over a year and it is getting worse. She's on 75 mg of zantac twice a day and it doesn't really seem to help. She had an abdominal ultrasound and it came back normal, so they did an upper G.I. It showed a pelvic mass about 1cm by 1 cm.
I had called my family doctor once again because I feared Conner was suffering from both a Milk and Soy intolerance. My doctor finally refered me to a Pediatric GI and I had Conner seen that day. Everything went okay, it's better news than I had expected, but it's still news I was hoping I didn't get. One a good note, Conner is not allergic to soy(thank god). He does however have a severe Milk allergy that he may not outgrow.
My 18 week old baby girl has gerd although zantac has taken away the pain and carobel somewhat helps the vomiting. She is only 11lb 4oz and is in the 2nd centile. She only takes 4 5oz bottles of nutramigen 1 each day and when I try to give her more she just vomits it up due to her reflux. However she has extreme flatulence at night from 11pm right through until 7am. It is constance, is foul smelling and doesnt stop with the result neither she nor I sleep.
I have a Very active 4yr old (can't sit still) who toe walks (he has day & night time afo's --both feet/ankle) he is smart & has a great sense of humor. He seems to lack focus if it isn't self initiated. Has a hard time "living in the moment" & constantly thinking about what he will do next instead of focusing on what he's doing now. (a lot of the times). Easily distracted & doesn't concentrate too long.
He does have heartburn sometimes for which a pediatric GI doc prescribed Zantac He only has to take Zantac on occasion. He is small for his age (idiopathic constitutional growth delay).A few days ago,he began to complain of feeling achy& tired.Snce there have been some viruses circulating at school,I assumed he just picked up a cold virus.Yesterday he went to school,shortly after getting off of the bus,he fainted in the hallway.
often has stomach pain first thing in morning. Zantac did nothing. Prilosec seems indifferent to helping. H. Pylori negative in stool and blood. Ova and parasite clear and clean. Seems that it is largely tied to a meal/snack and frequent in morning (but not always). Lactose withholding does not seem to help (can eat ice cream just fine). Negative for celiac disease (but potential to confirm via endoscopy).
Our six-month old son is having a hard time staying asleep in his crib. He has Acid Reflux and has been taking Zantac for the past three weeks; he doesn't like taking even Zantac with flavoring and ends up taking a little over half of what we give him. My wife has had him in a consistent nighttime routine for the past few months: feeding (he started solids just about a month ago and has really taken to it), followed by bath time, followed by nursing with Mom, then he goes down.

If your regular pharmacy is closed on Sunday, call any pharmacist availabe at your local grocery store or drug store such as Walgreens, CVS, or RiteAid.
I saw this quote today in an article about a doctor speaking at a pediatric infectious disease conference. The article is at
