You can use their assessment of daily symptoms to determine if the treatment is working. In my household, there is no shortage of data. Instead of exclaiming what a good dinner I just served, one kid usually announces, "I just threw up in my throat!" then the other kid belches and says, "I just refluxed!" In the end, I usually end up throwing up my hands and saying, "Toomuch information!"
In my next blog, I will share some ideas for using drawing, coloring, photography and journaling to help children communicate their symptoms to parents, physicians and friends.
