Reflux, or GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), is common in children and occurs when stomach contents flow back up into the esophagus. This can cause symptoms like spitting up, vomiting, irritability, or trouble feeding. Most cases improve with lifestyle changes such as smaller, more frequent feedings, burping during and after meals, and keeping the child upright after eating. In severe cases, medication may be necessary. Consulting a healthcare provider can help diagnose and manage reflux in children effectively.
