Uncommon: While reflux can occur in children, having a hiatal hernia is less common. Most hiatal hernias develop over the course of a person's life.

Uncommon: A true hiatal hernia is very uncommon in children. Congenital hernias in the diaphragm are more common in children compared to adults, but still overall rare. You may need a chest x-ray to mark the diagnosis or make sure everything is ok with the diaphragm.
