RE: [Torticolliskids] Re: reflux and tort

[Guest guest]

Hi Tracey My PED sent us to a ENT Otolaryngologist when my son was 3 months old. He was diagnoised with Laryngomalacia. The ENT dr said he has mild reflux and we should take some precautions like not over feeding him, keeping him upright for atleast 30 mts after each feeding. He said as the baby grows to sit and stand , this should get better. AT 6 months he was doing better. But recently it seems to have got worse. My son never had a spitting problem or colic problem. I do not think my PED did a good job at diagnoising his reflux, tort and plagio. One followed the other and I am still confused which one lead to what problem. I switched the PED and the new one does not even pay any attention to what I say. He thinks I have no work other than visiting Dr offices. My son will be graduating in 2 weeks from his doc band . Even though his tort

has not been completely resolved, it has definitely got better. So I have to go after his reflux problem now. Any similar experiences from other mothers will help me a lot. Thanks Chanda From: Deb

We kept my son on prevacid until he was 14 months

and he is off it

now but it still rears it's head. Cutting out dairy seemed to help.

Thanks for the feedback, our pt.Md and chiro all agreed there was a

link I was just curious about people's experience with it.
