Infant RefluxInfant reflux has a variety of symptoms including the hallmark symptom of spitting up and/or vomiting. A child may suffer from only a few symptoms or in worse cases a gamut of symptoms. Below you will find a list of the more common and a few lesser common symptoms of reflux:

  1. Frequent spitting up and/or vomiting
  2. Refusing to or difficulty with eating (choking, gagging)
  3. Frequent coughing
  4. Constant or sudden crying
  5. Arching the back and appearing in pain
  6. Poor weight gain
  7. Bad breath
  8. Poor sleep habits, frequent waking, uncomfortable to lay flat
  9. Excessive drooling
  10. Runny nose, sinus infection

In some instances a child may not exhibit any of the above symptoms and reflux can be mistaken for other childhood illnesses such as colic. However, most children will show one or more of these symptoms and it is essential to discuss these symptoms as well as reflux treatments with the child’s pediatrician.
