This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You state "my son has gers".
Did you mean GERD ? (Gastro esophaegal reflux disease)
If so the remedy you are using Silica 6x twice daily is not his remedy and should not be given to infants.
I would prefer that you give him Nat Phos 6x dose 1 tablet dissolved in his feed.
You may also consider changing his formula if you are bottle feeding him. Otherwise his mother's milk may be the problem which will have to be examined by specialists.

thanks for replying joe.
yes i meant gerd.
i will try nat phos ( homeopathy or biochemic?)
he drinks both breast milk and formula. more of formula and it suits him.
the only problem is whenever i discontinue silica his symptoms come back.
e.g-spitting ( medium)
waking up every 45 min in night and daytime.
he rubs his nose , wakes up agitated and makes gulping sounds...
are there going to be in side effects of silica? it has been adviced by a homeopath here...

Silica is accepted as a deep acting remedy and should not be used for infants on a long time basis.
The Nat Phos 6x helps adults by preventing the cause of GERD and is very safe in use. It is the Biochemic salt that I referred to. It has been reported by adults who use it that it helps them to sleep deeply and it is possible that it may also help baby to sleep better.
Report response in a few days.

Hi Joe
I hv been giving NAt phos to my son from last one week.
he is as controlled now as he was while having silica.
that means it s working.
Also i hv been giving it twice a day because he has trouble in the night while sleeping. is that ok?
Another thing i want ot know is would there be any side effects of giving silica which i hv been doing from last 5 months??
Also he has two lower teeth and i hv been giving him calcarea phos from last 6 months once a day. can i continue doing that?
and for how long .
thank you for you patience and help. i appreciate it.
regards

Glad to note that your baby is better today.
I would prefer that you stop the Silica and the Calc Phos and stay only with the Nat Phos which as you have seen seems to help. I presume that you give him only 1 tablet after each feed and you may try reducing this down to just 1/2 tablet. I have observed that adults who were suffering for years with GERD and one who was due for surgery due to long years of Hiatus Hernia was cured with the Nat Phos 6x in about a month. It seems to work by breaking the cycle and the patient is soon cured.
In the case of your baby too, he will get over his problem and you should try to gradually reduce the dosage and see how he reacts.
It is understood of course that the Silica and the Calc Phos which I did not recommend, will be discontinued forthwith.

hv tried cammomila earlier. only thing which affects him is silica but that has not beenn adviced for babies. he is 10 months now. breast fed 3 times a day. no oily and spicey food..
cheenu last decade
if breast feeding--then mother single dose chamomilla 30c --not child at this time
♡ John Stanton last decade
much of what is diagnosed onchildren has effect through breast milk--mother's state of well being must always BE CONSIDERED when breast feeding is envolved...
