Question

our 4-month old cousin is diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux. She spits up frequently after feedings and is irritable for about 1 hour after eating. At her last health check up, the practitioner mentioned that she is at risk for pneumonia. What would be the most likely cause for this

Answer 1

Due to the fact that she has frequent reflux she is more at risk for aspirating the formula or breast milk into her lungs which would lead to pneumonia.
