Common symptoms of GERD include [[heart burn]], [[regurgitation]], and [[dysphagia]]. A positive history of [[nausea]], [[vomiting]], and [[regurgitation]] is suggestive of GERD. Other symptoms of GERD include [[chest pain]], [[cough]], and [[odynophagia]].

GERD may be difficult to detect in infants and children. Symptoms may vary from typical adult symptoms. GERD in children may cause repeated [[vomiting]], effortless spitting up, [[coughing]], and other respiratory problems. Inconsolable crying, failure to gain adequate weight, refusing food, bad breath, and belching or burping are also common. Children may have one symptom or many &mdash; no single symptom is universal in all children with GERD.
 
It is estimated that of the approximately 8 million babies born in the U.S. each year, up to 35% of them may have difficulties with reflux in the first few months of their life. Most of those children will outgrow their reflux by their first birthday.  However, a small but significant number of them will not outgrow the condition.
 
Babies' immature digestive systems are usually the cause, and most infants stop having acid reflux by the time they reach their first birthday. Some children do not outgrow acid reflux, however, and continue to have it into their teen years. Children that have had heartburn that does not seem to go away, or any other GERD symptoms for a while, should talk to their parents and visit their doctor.
