Yes..these meds can be given for long especially in view of Gastroesophageal reflux causing recurrent vomiting and respiratory issues( bronchiolitis, aspiration pneumonia)
Next Steps
although weight at this point is fine but in future we never know about appropriate weight gain with persistent Gastro esophageal reflux. pls consult a Pediatrician for GERD and Sandifer syndrom
Health Tips
if baby starts arching of body and neck, pls take it seriously and consult a Pediatrician immediately.

Nexpro can be given for that duration. Domstal is usually given for a week only. Please take a second opinion. Treatment for gastro esophageal reflux is needed only if weight gain is not adequate

Yes these medications (anti reflux) can be given for that long Weight gain of the baby is appropriate as of now Laryngomalacia usually resolves spontaneously by 12-24 months of age depending on the severity.
