Infant GERDGERD stands for GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease.Studies show that GERD is common and may be overlooked in infants and children. It can cause repeated vomiting, coughing, and other respiratory problems. Children's immature digestive systems are usually to blame, and most infants grow out of GERD by the time they are 1 year old. Still, you should talk to your child's doctor if the problem occurs regularly and causes discomfort. Your doctor may recommend simple strategies for avoiding reflux, like burping the infant several times during feeding or keeping the infant in an upright position for 30 minutes after feeding. If your child is older, the doctor may recommend avoiding:
The doctor may recommend that the child sleep with head raised. If these changes do not work, the doctor may prescribe medicine for your child. In rare cases, a child may need surgery. Until recently, surgery was the primary treatment for children with severe complications from GERD, because drug therapies previously used had severe side effects, were ineffective, or had not been designed for children. With the proton pump inhibitor drugs available today, some children may be able to avoid gerd surgery. Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPIs) Drugs
