More than 100 million American adults suffer from acid reflux driving nearly $15 billion in annual sales of anti-reflux drugs. But can children get acid reflux too? Surprisingly, the answer is yes. Symptoms in children can include poor sleeping, noisy breathing, allergies, ear infections, asthma, croup, throat infections, and a "chronic cold." Often presenting as silent respiratory reflux, which is not easily detected by pediatricians, the disease can go untreated for an entire childhood—leading to rounds of ineffective medications, emergency room visits, and even unnecessary surgeries. Dr. Jamie Koufman talks about what every parent should know about Reflux in Infants, Children and Teens. She is a frequent guest on Nurse Talk and is one of the world’s leading authorities on reflux. For more than three decades, Dr. Koufman’s groundbreaking research and writings have focused on acid reflux as it affects the voice and respiratory system. She is the Founder and Director of the Voice & Reflux Institute of New York.

Ahead of Robert Willkie’s confirmation as the new Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Trump loyalists at the agency took aggressive steps to purge or reassign staff members perceived to be disloyal to President Trump and his agenda for veterans, according to multiple people familiar with the moves. The reshuffling marked a new stage in a long estrangement between civil servants and Trump loyalists at VA, where staff upheaval and sinking morale threaten to derail service to one of the president’s key constituencies, according to current and former employees. RN and Chair of NNOC NNU Irma Westmoreland answers questions about the VA and the recent #REDforFED protest.
