A member asked:
Does teething cause reflux? my two-year-old son used to have it really bad and now he's getting his molars it seems to have resurfaced.

No: But if he used to have his hands in the mouth all the time while teething, he probably induced the physiologic gag reflex and regurgitation.

Not usually: I have not read of instances where teething causes reflux. Your child may just be sucking so much on the teeth that more saliva is present.

No: There is no evidence that teething may cause refux, check with pediatrician for causes and treatment.
