GER disease (GERD), which is a long-term complication, is a common pediatric problem. Clinical manifestations of GERD in infants include regurgitation, irritability, choking, gagging, vomiting, poor weight gain, and respiratory disorder. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of GER and its symptoms in infants during the first year of life. Methods: This study was performed on 75 infants younger than one year of age, who were admitted to the pediatric department of Imam Reza Hospital in Mashhad during 3 months.
