The guidelines state that there is no evidence to support the use of antacid medications for empirical treatment for diagnostic purposes in infants and young children where symptoms suggestive of GERD are not specific. These symptoms, in the vast majority of cases, resolve spontaneously over time. The issue is to understand and interpret the "specificity" and meaning of some of the symptoms in children that the guidelines mention.

Abstract
The guidelines state that there is no evidence to support the use of antacid medications for empirical treatment for diagnostic purposes in infants and young children where symptoms suggestive of GERD are not specific. These symptoms, in the vast majority of cases, resolve spontaneously over time. The issue is to understand and interpret the "specificity" and meaning of some of the symptoms in children that the guidelines mention.File in questo prodotto:
