GERD and Acid Reflux in Infants and Children

Most infants occasionally spit up throughout the day. However, when regurgitation causes other problems or is associated with other symptoms, it may be due to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can also occur in older children.

What Are the Symptoms of Acid Reflux in Infants and Children?

The most common symptoms of reflux in kids are:

Frequent or recurrent vomiting
Frequent or persistent cough
Refusing to eat or difficulty eating (choking or gagging with feeding)
Crying with feeding
Heartburn, gas, or abdominal pain

Many other symptoms are sometimes blamed on gastroesophageal reflux, but much of the time, it isn't clear if reflux actually causes them. Other possibilities in young children and infants include:

Colic
Poor growth
Breathing problems
Recurrent pneumonia
