Patient's question:
I finish work at kindergarten every day, and my job is to take care of young children. They are always playing and making noise during dinner time, and it's never quiet. I saw online that eating for too long can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in children. Is that really true? What are the symptoms of GERD 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 have a thorough examination at the hospital for the excretion of sex hormones, as well as ultrasounds of the ovaries, uterus, and breasts, in addition to bone age assessment. You can go to the People's Hospital in Hefei or Anhui Provincial Hospital, or other private tier-3A hospitals in Anhui Province, to see the endocrinology department. Because these detailed examinations include blood tests, you will need to fast before the tests. Avoid consuming a large amount of tonic foods and snacks that contain too many additives.
