Abstract

Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is a common condition affecting children. The clinical presentation varies widely from innocuous spitting up to life threatening apnea. Various diagnostic tests are available to document the etiology, presence or complications of GER. In most cases, conservative approach is sufficient. In complicated cases, pharmacotherapy is indicated while surgical therapy is reserved for resistant cases with complications.
