My friend has a 4 month old son who has had surgery for a bowel malrotation. He has severe reflux which has caused tracheomalacia due to erosive esophagitis. Her surgeon put him on reglan and prevacid. She has to mix the prevacid in 30 cc of water which makes a thick paste and he won't take it. Is there an alternative drug I can suggest? Prevacid doesn't come in a liquid form for infants as far as I know. Also, is there an alternative to reglan? He throws up more when he takes the reglan that if he doesn't take it.
