How to quickly treat infant umbilical hernia

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. How can you quickly treat an infant's umbilical hernia?

Doctor's answer:

Hernia is a common pediatric surgical condition. Generally, conservative treatment is adopted for infants and young children, as the symptoms may disappear with physical development during the preschool years. If symptoms persist in preschool children, surgical treatment is required, typically involving high ligation of the hernia sac. The surgery is relatively simple. In your case, it may be due to neural spasm. Acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, and other methods can be considered for treatment. Carbamazepine can also be used for treatment.
