Q.

My 2.5 month baby is having acid reflux issue. Doctor has prescribed 1ml Rantac and 1 ml Domstal twice daily. But I get to know that Rantac is not safe for babies and is banned in some countries. What should i do? Is it safe or should I stop giving it to my baby. I have given 3 days as of now. Please advise.
