Patient's question:
I finish work at kindergarten every day, and it's just about taking care of the children. They are always playing and fooling around with each other during dinner time, and it's never quiet. I saw online that eating for too long can cause gastroesophageal reflux disease in children. Is that really true? What are the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease in children?Doctor's answer:
At the age of 6, she has already begun breast development and is experiencing precocious puberty. It is necessary to undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital, including the excretion of sex hormones, ultrasound of the ovaries, uterus, and breasts, as well as bone age assessment. You can go to the People's Hospital of Hefei or Anhui Provincial Hospital (a private, Class III-A hospital) for these examinations. You can consult the endocrinology department. Since these detailed examinations involve blood tests, you will need to fast before the tests. Avoid consuming a large amount of tonic foods and snacks with excessive additives.
