[|Human|] Hi I have a 1 month old daughter & she was diagnosed with reflux since day4. She was put on meds at 2 weeks and I have decided I want to stop her meds b/c she is still throwing up while on them so whats the use. She is a happy baby not fussy not colicy but she saounds like she is having difficulty breathing all the time is this the reflux? It reminds me of while I have a panick attack. She is breastfead & sometimes she sounds like she is choking while nursing. I am worried its something else going on sound I get a 2nd opinion?
[|AI|]  Hello, Thank you for your query. Yes please get a second opinion. I believe that the parents instincts are always right.*What tests did they do to confirm reflux?* does she turn blue while nursing?* what color is her vomit? When does she throw up after feeds, how long after? Is it a forceful kind of vomiting? Based on her symptoms, I would like to rule out pyloric stenosis & tracheoesophageal fistula. This is an abnormal connection between her food pipe and wind pipe.  It could just be reflux, but it is better to confirm with proper imaging and tests. I recommend-please get a pediatric surgeons and gastroenterologist opinion.- a series if x-rays after swallowing a special contrast dye.- an endoscopy if required.- blood tests (complete blood count, electrolyte levels)Hope she recovers soon, please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
