What are the symptoms of esophageal reflux in children?

When children are young, their stomachs and intestines have not yet developed and are still in a very fragile state, so they often suffer from some physical diseases. Esophageal reflux is very likely to occur in the stomach and intestines. After discovering this situation, many mothers will take their babies to the doctor in time and conduct certain drug treatments. However, there are still a large number of mothers who cannot correctly recognize the specific symptoms of esophageal reflux in children, so let us popularize it to everyone.

One is obvious, which is the vomiting and regurgitation of milk mentioned above, which is to vomit out the food directly after it comes up from the stomach. Another type is latent gastroesophageal reflux, in which something comes back up from the stomach through the esophagus, but only reaches the throat and will not be vomited out. This type of latent reflux is more terrifying than the first type because many people do not pay attention to it and do not think it is a problem. But in fact, in the second type of reflux, food will return through the esophagus, and after reaching the throat, it will be swallowed back into the stomach. For the esophagus, this is a double erosion of gastric acid, and it is possible that the trachea will be choked by the food that returns, causing constant coughing, and in severe cases, it may lead to gastroesophageal reflux pneumonia.

Reflux itself is not scary. What is scary are the complications caused by reflux - developmental problems, esophagitis, or respiratory infections such as rhinitis and pneumonia.

It is very common for babies to have gastroesophageal reflux. If it is just a physiological reflux, mothers do not need to worry too much. They only need to learn the correct care methods to help their babies relieve the symptoms of esophageal reflux. However, there are also babies with pathological conditions, so it is very necessary to be able to recognize the symptoms of esophageal reflux in time, so as to effectively avoid the aggravation of the disease.
