Pediatric Gastroesophageal Reflux Cough Symptoms
The child has been coughing continuously. After going to the hospital for an examination, the doctor diagnosed it as cough caused by gastroesophageal reflux. What are the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux-related cough in children?
Doctor's answer (1)
Pediatric gastroesophageal reflux-related cough may present with symptoms such as coughing and choking, and may also be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, belching, and acid regurgitation. If the condition is more severe, symptoms such as heartburn, decreased appetite, and irritability may appear, which can affect the body's immunity. When gastroesophageal reflux-related cough occurs, timely treatment at a reputable hospital is necessary, and omeprazole enteric-coated tablets should be taken under a doctor's guidance to alleviate symptoms. However, please note that omeprazole enteric-coated tablets are recommended for use in children aged 3 years and older.
