Question

A 1-month-old boy has been vomiting for 2 weeks. how is this symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) and pyloric stenosis further differentiated in this child s assessment?

Answer 1

The answer is "The infant has regurgitation with pyloric stenosis".

With pyloric stenosis, vomiting becomes noticeably shot, and a little olive-sized mass is obvious in the RUQ; the newborn child is normally eager again not long after vomiting, and in light of the fact that practically zero nourishment is achieving the digestion tracts, the baby has less, littler stools. The child fails to flourish and has indications of lack of hydration. These signs are not related with GERD. Regurgitation can be present with either illness.
