Abstract

The term physiological gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is the passage of the content deposited in the stomach, retrograde in the light of the esophagus; Sometimes it can reach the pharynx or mouth, and it can even be vomited, but in most cases it returns to the stomach in the absence of respiratory, digestive or general symptoms. (1,2) The usual symptomatology of these children is regurgitation and vomiting of varying frequency at intensity, which in the majority of infants aged 6 to 12 months disappears as they grow, the standing begins and aglactation begins with food abundant (3,6,11,12). Report of a clinical case of GER in a minor infant, previously managed with a specific proton pump inhibitor in parietal cell, without clinical improvement. A comprehensive approach to health problems is indicated, from a preventive approach: childcare recommendations and general anti-reflux measures, without meriting any study or medication with favorable clinical evolution.
