Guest guest Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Thank you all so much for your posts, they are all so helpful and full of great advice. We found out 5 days ago our 8 year old son has achalasia and have been doing tons of research to try and understand it all and with your advice are now trying to find the best surgeon for him. One of the things that is hardest for me right now, is the constant coughing all night long. Last night I went in to check on him and he had regurgitated all over his pillow in his sleep and I worry about choking or getting things in his lungs/pneumonia. It has to be so hard on him to cough so much. When I asked the doctor about this he said its just a sympton and shows you, you need to get it fixed soon. Until we can do that, do those of you with it or the moms who have been through it, know what I can do to ease his miserable nights and our restless ones? When he had a cold, I would prop him up on a lot pillows, but this is not working and I am not sure if there is a medicine that can help relieve this. Are there foods that aggravate this more or foods that can calm everything inside that is aggravated? Thanks for anything you can offer.
