bummer...my dd developed Esophagitis

[Guest guest]

Well, most likely that is what it is. Ever since she took her aleve

pill she had been having pain mid chest area in her esophagus

yesterday. She barely was able to eat her lunch it hurt too much.

Dinner I made her a shake. So I called the dr. and because she woke

up still hurting too much to eat she's to be on a liquid/soft food

diet for 2 wks. Hurts to even eat yogurt. I'm going to have to go

out and buy some ensure and protein drinks for her. She is so so tiny

as it is she can't afford to loose any weight on a liquidish diet.

The aleve caused irritation in her esophagus...I'm not sure if it got

stuck there going down or what. I myself can't take aleve because of

the number it does on my stomach...and motrin I can only handle for a

short time. So I imagine if the pill did not make it to her stomach

and was lodged halfway down it probably was very very irritating to

the lining of her esophagus. Ugh. Anyway, the dr. sent in a

perscription of naproxen suspension. Hopefully that'll help the

esophagus pain along with the joint pain.
