What Are the Treatments for Gastroesophageal Reflux in Infants?
Gastroesophageal Reflux, or GER, is very common during the first year of a child’s life. It occurs when stomach acids regurgitate from the esophagus back into the mouth. Often referred to in infants as acid reflux, GER can cause a burning pain in the throat and heartburn. GER treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms and the age of the child.
