Can GER Lead to Complications?

While many neonates outgrow GER without any long-term issues, severe or untreated GER can lead to complications such as:
Esophagitis - Inflammation of the esophagus
Aspiration pneumonia - Inhalation of regurgitated material into the lungs
Failure to thrive - Poor weight gain and growth
Barrett's esophagus - A condition where the esophageal lining changes, increasing cancer risk
