Gaviscon Infant Sachet 30’s is an effective treatment for gastric reflux in infants and young children. It reduces gastric regurgitation, especially in those with a developing cardiac sphincter. By stabilizing stomach contents, it prevents reflux and regurgitation, alleviating discomfort. Symptoms of infant reflux include spitting up milk, vomiting during or after feedings, coughing or hiccuping while eating, fussiness, excessive crying, difficulty settling, and weight gain issues. Some infants may also experience silent reflux, showing symptoms without bringing up milk.
