"Why Does My Child Need an Upper Endoscopy Procedure?
Your child's doctor may order an upper endoscopy to find out the reason for certain symptoms your child is having. These symptoms include:

-Swallowing difficulties
-Nausea and vomiting
-Reflux
-Bleeding
-Indigestion
-Abdominal or chest pain
The endoscope transmits an image of the inside of your child's esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, so the doctor can carefully examine the lining of these organs. Through the endoscope, doctors can see abnormalities (like inflammation or bleeding) that don't show up well on X-rays. The doctor can also insert instruments into the scope. By doing this, he or she can remove tiny samples of tissue (biopsy) for further tests, or treat bleeding problems."
