Some do: This is a finding in some children and adolescents and something that can happen to all of us. Caffeine and carbonation in cola's or power drinks, acidic drinks, spicy foods and intake of food or drink within an hour of bedtime are aggravating factors. Alternative explanations are often ruled out during an office evaluation and many respond to lifestyle changes and acid reduction like adults.

No: Ask your parents to discuss this with a pediatrician. It could be something as simple as a change in your diet to solve, but it should be looked into.
