In newborns and infants, the appearance of crying fits, restlessness, arching of the trunk, sometimes associated with even abundant regurgitation, can be physiological manifestations of an evolutionary phase. It is necessary to be able to differentiate the physiological GER from that associated with symptoms that  deserve a diagnostic study. Parents need to be adequately informed about the significance of signs and symptoms and supported in the management of these physiological manifestations. Pump inhibitors and Histamine receptor antagonists are not effective in resolving GER and their use should be reserved exclusively for GER disease (GERD) which is very rare in pediatric age and mostly related to predisposing conditions. In the GER there are no indications for the use of prokinetic drugs. The use of drugs for GERD is not indicated as an empirical treatment for diagnostic purposes in newborns and infants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2467,"template":"","meta":{"_edit_lock":["1686150385:4"],"_edit_last":["4"],"_wpml_media_duplicate":["0"],"_wpml_media_featured":["0"],"_thumbnail_id":["2467"],"_wpml_word_count":["{\"total\":333,\"to_translate\":{\"it\":333}}"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_eta":[""],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_disciplina":["126"],"_yoast_wpseo_primary_tipologia":[""],"_yoast_wpseo_content_score":["60"],"_yoast_wpseo_focuskeywords":["[]"],"_yoast_wpseo_keywordsynonyms":["[\"\"]"],"_wpml_location_migration_done":["1"],"_layouts_template":["layout-for-raccomandazioni-professionista"],"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_wpv_contains_gutenberg_views":[""],"wpcf-pacchetto":["ACP #1"],"wpcf-bibliografia":["1.
