Reflux part 2

So, Emily had an appointment with the ENT today. After seeing our pediatrician (Paul Smolen) on Monday, we all decided an airway check would be the wisest thing to do under the circumstances. We went to the Charlotte Eye Ear Nose and Throat office on Fairview across from Southpark. They did a laryngoscopy and checked out Emily's throat. The tissue we saw was red from reflux and her vocal cords were also a little floppy. She was diagnosed with reflux and stridor (laryngomelatia). This is not particularly serious, but she will be taking Prevacid until she grows out of the condition. They want to see us back in 3 to 4 weeks. The only other possible problem is that you often find low muscle tone and delays in other areas in kids that have both the stridor and reflux. I think she'll be fine, but until she grows out of it, we will be giving her the medicine and keeping her upright after feeding.
