Soothe Children's is a medication that helps relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, sour stomach, and upset stomach. It works by neutralizing stomach acid, which can help ease discomfort. The medication comes in chewable tablet form, and the starting dose depends on the child's weight or age; for example, children aged 2 to 5 can take one tablet, while those aged 6 to 11 can take two tablets, with a maximum of 3 tablets for younger kids and 6 for older ones in a 24-hour period. It's important to stop using it and consult a doctor if symptoms last longer than two weeks. Additionally, you should ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if the child is taking any prescription medications, as antacids may interact with certain drugs.
