Symptoms of Gastric Esophageal Reflux Disease in Children

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. After visiting the hospital and feeling better for a while, it started again. Please ask about the symptoms of pediatric gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, infant gastroesophageal reflux is a relatively common pediatric disease, which is related to the physiological characteristics of infants. Because an infant's stomach is horizontal, feeding can easily lead to vomiting. Therefore, it is recommended not to let the child lie down immediately after feeding, but to hold the child and gently pat their back to help them burp. After a while, you can then lay the child down, and the symptoms of vomiting will be relieved.
