They may also be used to test whether or not a child is able to gain weight using a feeding tube before a more permanent tube is placed. Most doctors do not recommend continuing to use an NG tube for long periods of time because they are difficult to place, can be uncomfortable for the child, have potential side effects and risks, and are aesthetically disconcerting for many families and children.
