Teen suffering from acid reflux? HELP?

idk asked:


Hi there!
I am a female teen suffering from what the GI believes is acid reflux. Prevacid helps a little but not too much. What other treatment could be available? I am waiting to get test results back and am also having a few more tests done tomorrow. This morning I woke up with a dry cough and and scratchy throat as if I have been screaming for a while but I havent been screaming. What does this mean? Also, there is a stomach bug going around, what are the chances of me getting it? Please answer the following questions:
~What are other treatment options if Prevacid isn’t working?(I am a female teen)
~What is this throat and dry cough sitaution for…like a cold or could it be part of acid reflux?
~Does this sound like acid reflux?
~If blood work and barium x rays come back negative, what other tests are there?
~How much longer do I have with this(i have had this for a month and a half)?
~When does surgery as treatment come in?

Thank for all the help!!!!!!

PS- Any other teens sufforing with acid reflux? Any suggestions or stories?

mylissa asked:


She spits up infrequently, but it is usually thick and slightly chunky. She will often pull off the breast while feeding and cry, and this makes her feedings irregular and unsatisfying for her. Out of the blue she wil start to *** like she has something in her throat. Also sometimes she will start moving her mouth like she is tasting something. How do I know if she has Acid Reflux?

Robert asked:


I have been getting dull upper back and chest aches and my chest, back and neck feel tight. I also sometimes feel like I’m taking in too much air like a panic attack, but different. Aside from this, I have been feeling my usual acid in the esophagus, bloated feeling. I’m confused as to whether it is a flu or cold or not because last night I had a slight fever? Is anyone else getting these symptoms? Any doctors on here that can tell me if this sounds more like a viral infection or acid reflux?

New Acid Reflux Problem?

Arch-Lich Necromancer Cailin asked:


Hello everyone,

I have previously asked a question regarding Acid Reflux, and Prilosec. Suffice to say, that I am having a new problem.

You see, my parents have been allowing me to take my Prilosec (which was prescribed to me by a medical doctor) … up until now. I have ran out of it, causing me serious pain. I keep telling them, “I really do need some more now…,” but they just don’t listen. They distrust doctors and every idea that isn’t spawned from their own minds. Lately, they have the idea in their heads, that they want to try this crazy theory that if you INCREASE the acid in the stomach, you will not get the Reflux… To me, this sounded illogical and potentially dangerous. I decided that the only way was to try, and, like I thought, it made my problem worse.

All background information aside, I have ran out of Prilosec, and I can’t get my parents to pay for it. I know that I have to go to the doctor to renew my prescription, but I was wondering … could I (age 16) buy the OTC Prilosec, say, at Costco (the cheapest area). I don’t think that it is fair that my parents are withholding medical treatment, but, if I have to clean out my (small) savings account, I will.

Regards to all who help.
