Abstract:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition characterized by the backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus or throat, which is especially common in children. GERD frequently occurs in infants and young children. This disease can significantly affect a childs quality of life, so early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial.
