Symptoms of Helicobacter pylori infection in infants

1. Due to the physical differences of each person, children with chronic gastritis have different degrees of dyspepsia symptoms, mainly manifested as repeated abdominal pain without obvious regularity, especially after eating. The pain site is not fixed, mostly around the navel. The use of pungent food or cold, when the temperature drops, can cause or aggravate symptoms.

2. The main symptoms of neonatal period are sudden upper gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. Hematemesis, hematochezia, abdominal distension and peritonitis are common phenomena. Because of low recognition, it is easy to be misdiagnosed and the mortality is high. The incidence rate is highest from one day to two days after birth. Acute onset is common in infants, irritability, poor appetite, hematemesis and so on.

The symptoms of school-age children were similar to those of adults, mainly with periumbilical abdominal pain, sometimes nocturnal pain, or acid reflux, nausea or chronic anemia.

matters needing attention

In particular, some parents are used to chew food and feed it to their babies. This kind of phenomenon should be eliminated, which will increase the probability of transmission of Helicobacter pylori.
