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

Don't worry about 50% of babies will have this issue.
Treatment is giving nexpro and Domstal only .
As the baby grows and gains weight this issue will be resolved
