My baby s esophageal reflux is severe, what could be causing it?

When it comes to gastroesophageal reflux, it sounds quite scary, but in layman's terms, gastroesophageal reflux is what we often call spitting up, which is usually a physiological phenomenon.

The main reason for this is that due to the imperfect development of the baby's gastrointestinal tract, the lower esophageal sphincter will relax transiently, which will occur several times a day. When the esophageal sphincter relaxes transiently, stomach contents are released and flood into the esophagus. Therefore, when the baby's gastrointestinal development is gradually improved and the esophageal sphincter is developed stronger, most of the gastroesophageal reflux will gradually improve within 1 year of the baby's life.

One study has shown that gastroesophageal reflux may be related to Helicobacter pylori deficiency, and if someone has taken a lot of antibiotics from childhood or has not received Helicobacter pylori, then the number of bacteria they carry is very small or even none, which will increase the probability of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is 8 times that of normal carriers.

So if you are a pregnant mother, please remember that you must try to choose natural delivery and breastfeeding to pass on the normal flora to the next generation, while cesarean section, formula feeding and the use of large amounts of antibiotics will destroy the healthy flora. ）

However, when your baby has these symptoms, it may indicate that the condition is more serious.

1. There will be many times of retching at almost every meal;

2. When drinking milk or after one hour, there are often stiffness or other uncomfortable movements;

3. There will be swallowing action when not drinking milk;

4. The baby's breath has a sour taste;

5. Weight gain is not up to standard;

6. Sudden crying during sleep;

7. Milk boredom.

If your baby has at least 3 points or more, it is likely to be gastroesophageal reflux. To alleviate symptoms, try doing this:

1. Feeding a small amount of milk multiple times, the stomach is full of milk and it is easier to have reflux;

2. Increase the number of burps during feeding to help the baby discharge the gas in the stomach in time and relieve reflux;

3. Increase the time of vertical hugging after feeding, reaching more than 20 minutes, so that the baby just eats the milk to stay in the stomach as much as possible.

4. For babies who add complementary food, you can properly thicken the rice noodles to make it easier for food to stay in the stomach.

5. Raise the baby's mattress 30 degrees to avoid gravity aggravating reflux when lying flat.

6. If the baby has blood or mucus in the stool, it may be milk protein intolerance, in order to avoid milk protein allergy: breastfeeding mothers should avoid dairy products, and formula-fed babies are recommended to replace ordinary formula milk with deep hydrolyzed milk powder.

If the baby's condition is more serious, these practices can not help the baby relieve discomfort, or even long-term ear infection, slow growth and development, should consult a professional doctor in time**.

It may be because the child is allergic to these foods and does not like to eat these foods, the food has gone bad, or it may be that the food is not tasty and the food is not clean, so the esophageal reflux is serious.

It may be because the digestive system is not particularly good, it may be because the food eaten is complicated, or it may be caused by physiological reflux, or it may be caused by imperfect development of the pyocardial muscle.

It may be due to physical reasons, pathological reasons, dietary reasons, irregular work and rest, and the cause of chronic diseases of the digestive tract.

1. Affect the growth and development of children

After the baby has esophageal reflux, the baby's diet is a more difficult problem, the baby can not absorb nutrients through the diet, it will become yellow and thin, and it will lack nutrients, so it will affect the normal growth and development of the child.

Therefore, if you find that your child has this disease, you should seek medical attention in time to see what the doctor says, and then according to the doctor's instructions, do **, don't make the child too uncomfortable.

2. There is an infection of bronchitis

When the baby suffers from esophageal reflux, it is easy to produce nausea, and he can not complete the act of eating, and there will be vomiting, so often like this, there will be bronchitis, this phenomenon is very scary, because the child is relatively young, will not pay attention at all, so as a parent should always pay attention to the child's movements.

3. The phenomenon of causing respiratory tract blockage

Because the child is relatively young, so when the body is uncomfortable, you can only cry, at this time, it will also make the child's stomach feel uncomfortable, don't care about the child's crying, it may be caused by the child's physical discomfort, so you should pay more attention to the child's daily behavior.

Esophageal reflux does not only occur in children, but also many young and old people. This disease is age-neutral, and many people are caused by regular drinking, excessive obesity, and not paying attention to their diet, so in daily life, you should pay attention to these precautions:

1. Quit smoking and drinking.

Because cigarettes contain too many harmful substances, which will harm our body, and the alcohol contained in alcohol will paralyze people's mental system, so we should quit smoking and alcohol as soon as possible.

2. You should ensure that your eating habits are normal, three meals a day, all of which are eaten, and you should make your own light diet, reasonable meals, and should not overeat.

It may worsen reflux esophagitis, barret's esophagus, growth retardation, malnutrition, chest pain, anemia, etc. It can also cause some laryngitis, sinusitis, otitis media, recurrent mouth ulcers and tooth decay.

First of all, it must be very inconvenient for the baby to eat, and it is also very difficult for the baby to digest after the baby has this disease. Therefore, it will also affect the normal development of the baby. If the disease gets more and more severe, it may lead to bronchitis, and it will also make the baby very uncomfortable, and he may not be able to eat every day, which will also lead to malnutrition.

First of all, it has a certain impact on the child's growth and development, because the child can't get into what he eats, his stomach can't absorb nutrients, and it will also affect the child's sleep, because sometimes the child will swallow milk when sleeping, so this symptom will cause him to choke on milk.

It will affect the health of the child, which will cause the child to be unable to absorb nutrients, and will often spit up milk, and there is no way to breathe normally, and sometimes choking.

Very typical is the symptoms of the upper gastrointestinal tract, the baby will have frequent nausea, spitting up, and especially vomiting after eating.
