We are on a sucky new insurance plan where the cost of rx meds count toward the VERY HIGH deductible. We are pretty broke right now and I called the doctor to ask if the was anything OTC that Zoe could take for her reflux. They said not at her age but that Zantac would be cheaper. I specifically asked for something other than zantac when Zoe was first prescribed meds since I knew that stuff tastes terrible and she is so picky and stubborn. She has been taking her pepcid very nicely but it is expensive so I said we would try the zantac.
It's been awful. She mostly won't take it, she will spit it right out. I have tried watering it down and even mixing it with chocolate syrup. There is no way to make her take it. So she has been getting crankier and crankier. Today she would not eat anything for lunch at all. She only wants to nurse all the time, even more than usual, and that is already a lot! She cries a lot and whines a lot. She gets hiccups all the time and she chokes up stuff more too.
So we have to bite the bullet and go back to the pepcid. Just another reason why insurance sucks.
