Abstract in brief
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is common in infants, affecting about 50% of those under three months, but it usually resolves with age and rarely persists after infancy.
- Distinguishing GORD from GOR is debated, but GORD is defined as more serious symptoms or complications of GOR.
- This Cochrane review analyzes pharmacological treatments for GOR in children, reviewing all potential benefits and harms by examining data from numerous medical databases and ongoing trials.
