Jessica,I wouldn't rule out trauma or injury from in-hospital procedures, but I'm also surprised you say there are no reflux symptoms, as I've found this behavior to be a symptom of reflux. I've found that in most cases when reflux is the issue, the homeopathic cell salt nat phos brings rapid relief and helps to differentiate from other issues.
