Having problems with message search?
Sorry about the hives!! It sounds weird to me that he would still have them,
if it was caused from the Prevacid. If he is no longer exposed to that, then
surely they would have settled down by now. Are they looking into other
possibilities?? I hope you can figure out what is causing them. He must be
uncomfortable, poor little boy.
The meds can cause abdominal pain- that is one of the listed side effects.
Here are some links- http://www.healthsqr.com/newrx/PRE1348.HTM
http://www.rxmed.com/monographs/prevacid.html
You can use the links to those sites to investigate the other meds. I hope
that helps.

My 9year old son,has reflux and asthma. He has not had successful
results with reglan,prilosic,carafate,axid,etc. He was put on Prevacid
on Feb. 7. He immediately had hives and has had them for 3 months. The
gastro doc took him off ALL reflux meds to see what the cause of the
hives are.In the meantime, he has not complained of stomach pain as
much as he did. He's refluxing more often. My question is this. Could
the meds make him have stomach fullness or pain? He's also eating
better. Even though his symptoms seem better, do you think it will be
just a matter of time before the pain and worsening of reflux as time
goes on? By the way he is on Gaviscon while we resolve the hives.
