2. Respiratory tract infections: When babies have pharyngitis, laryngitis, etc., the local irritation caused by inflammation leads to discomfort, which can cause babies to gag all the time.
3. Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD): When babies often have the symptom of gagging when lying down, we should be alert to the possibility of gastroesophageal reflux (GERD).
