Abstract

Gastrointestinal (GI) diseases in children, ranging from infancy to adolescence, encompass a wide spectrum of disorders affecting the stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines. Effective management and treatment of these conditions require tailored approaches based on the child’s developmental stage. This review explores current treatments for common gastrointestinal, liver, and pancreatic conditions in children, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), liver diseases such as hepatitis and biliary atresia, and pancreatic disorders like pancreatitis. The article discusses the therapeutic strategies, their efficacy, side effects, and the challenges faced by pediatric healthcare providers. Emphasis is placed on emerging therapies and the role of a multidisciplinary approach in improving patient outcomes.
