Acid reflux is a condition that you can have no matter what age you are. Moreover, acid reflux is quite common in babies that are up to one year old. When suffering from acid reflux, there are symptoms which can tell you that something is wrong, but some people and especially children have acid reflux symptoms that are harder to recognize.
Heartburn is the main symptom for acid reflux in both adults and adolescents. When it comes to children, things rend to get a little more complicated. Spitting or vomiting is the main acid reflux symptom in babies and older children. But you see, vomiting can be cause by many other conditions, besides acid reflux. To make a difference between the vomiting that happens when your baby has a flu and the vomiting that is caused by acid reflux you have to know that in the second case, the vomiting will last more than four months in a row. Furthermore, if vomiting actually indicates an acid reflux case, then this symptoms will be severe at times and mostly accompanied by crying.
Children who are between 4 and 6 years old and suffer from acid reflux will also have other symptoms as well. Besides vomiting, which is intermittent, those children suffer from abdominal pain and also have gas as acid reflux signs. As they grow older, so do the acid reflux symptoms start to get worse. Many of them may actually suffer from heartburn that can last up to a couple of hours. Chest pain may also be a sign of acid reflux. All these acid reflux symptoms will actually get worse after meals and then decrease in intensity.
However, there are many other acid reflux symptoms that a child can have. Furthermore, not all children will have the same signs of acid reflux. When in some the loss of weight indicates acid refuse, in other gaining a few extra pounds will actually be an acid reflux symptom. Some children will eat more when having acid reflux, because having their stomach full seems to ameliorate the acid reflux symptoms, whereas other will not eat very much and be picky, because eating will only agravate their acid reflux symptoms.
So, as you can see there are many symptoms that can indicate acid reflux, many of them being different from a person to another. No matter the symptoms, if you think that you or your child suffers from acid reflux, the best thing to do is see a doctor.
