Pneumonia Surgery Zantac Reglan Ranitidine

My son Jared had horrible reflux. We had him on 3 meds. Zantac 2mls 3xday. Omeprozole 2x a day (can't remember dose) and reglan 2mls 3 x day. Nothing worked for him and he was constantly getting aspiration pneumonia. We finally had a nissen fundoplication done. It is a surgery that makes the esophagus smaller to prevent the reflux. It has been a miracle for Jared and he is finally healthier than he had been since dx. Jared is not on any anti-convulsants so I can't help with that. Best of luck!
