What are the Treatment Options for GERD in Neonates?
Treatment options depend on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, conservative measures such as positional changes (keeping the infant upright after feeding), thickening feedings, and frequent smaller meals might suffice. In more severe cases, pharmacological treatments like H2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may be prescribed. In very rare and severe cases, surgical intervention such as Nissen fundoplication might be considered.
