My baby has dry cough and often gags. Her cough and gags often result in her regurgitating her milk. Sometimes, for some reason,the milk seems to get stuck in her throat together with those thick mucus. Are dry cough and gags related to reflux? What can I do to help her remove the mucus if they are stuck at the back of her throat? I pat her back and gave her saline spray through her nose but I can't seem to get the mucus out.

The symptoms do sound like issues pertaining to gastroesophageal reflux. Your baby might have GERD if: - your baby's coughing and gagging prevents her from feeding properly. These symptoms may include vomiting, gagging, coughing, and trouble breathing. - if the symptoms persists for more than 12 to 14 months I reckon it's best to see a doctor to see what can be done. Must be heart breaking to see baby in so much discomfort all the time.
