Treating GERD in Infants With Surgery
Very rarely, infants have a severe form of
GERD that can cause breathing problems or prevent them from growing. For some of these infants, GERD surgery may be the best option.
A Summary of Treating GERD in Infants
Several options exist for treating GERD in infants, including medications, feeding modifications, and surgery. The treatment recommended will depend on the infant's age and severity of symptoms. In most cases, medications or surgery are not needed, as most infants outgrow reflux by 1 or 2 years of age.
