Children and GERD

GERD isn't just an adult's disease. I was diagnosed with GERD when I was in my 30's. My grandson was diagnosed with GERD when he was 6 months old.

Because children and infants can also have GERD, it's important to know know what symptoms to look for:

• Symptoms of GERD in Infants
• Symptoms of GERD in Children
• Symptoms of GERD in Teens

Many times child's doctor may base a diagnosis of acid reflux on your child's symptoms, medical history, and a physical examination. Sometimes, however, diagnostic tests are needed:

• Diagnosing GERD in Infants
• Diagnosing GERD in Children
• Diagnosing GERD in Teens

Once a diagnosis has been made, treatment will begin. The age of your child will determine what course of treatment is used:

• Treating GERD in Infants
• Treating GERD in Children
• Treating GERD in Teens
