Gastroesophageal Reflux in Infants treatment in Benito Juárez (Quintana Roo)

Gastroesophageal reflux in babies occurs when the contents of the stomach flow back up toward the esophagus, something common in the first months due to the immaturity of the digestive system.

Common symptoms: Spitting up after feeding, irritability, arching of the body and, in some cases, difficulty feeding or coughing.

When to see a doctor? A review is advisable if the baby is not gaining weight, refuses food, has frequent vomiting, or shows marked discomfort.

Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician evaluates the baby and, when the symptoms are persistent, may rely on a pediatric gastroenterologist. If you are concerned about how your child feeds or reacts, the most prudent thing is to discuss it with a professional.
