: Pyloric stenosis is uncommon in an infant three months of age, and will cause symptoms of projectile regurgitation.

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends ultimately on the symptoms you are experiencing and whether or not the stenosis is negatively impacting your daily life.  If you have significant neurologic symptoms caused by the stenosis (numbness, weakness, etc) than treatment might range from injections to surgery to open the canal and possibly fuse the lumbar spine.  Either way, you will probably benefit from physical therapy
