Abstract 

In this article, the literature regarding the effects of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) on otolaryngologic disorders in infants and children is reviewed. We specifically focus on studies that suggest how GERD may be associated with sinusitis, cough, laryngitis, airway obstruction, apnea, recurrent croup, laryngomalacia, stridor, and subglottic stenosis in children.
