Gerd and congestion
During NICU my baby was diagnosed with gerd. She is 2 months old. . Her problem is when she starts feeding she starts getting congestion in nose or throst donno exactly but I start hearing noise. Then she vomits ... she vomits till this gets cleared.. I would call it forcefully spit up.
She was given naspro . It didn't help . Was given hypoallergic formula but it increased congestion episodes.
Main thing is she never vomits after feed... everything is during feed and related to congestion noise. She is also on domstal. Please tell Me what could be the reason
