Patient's question:
My child is three years old. Recently, they started attending kindergarten and have been crying and having bad temper. About a month ago, I noticed swelling on the upper right side of their thigh. The child occasionally says it's getting bigger. I don't know if it's a hernia.Doctor's answer:
Hello. It's a pleasure to assist you: This situation may be a possible case of hernia. It's best to actively reduce strenuous activities. Observe whether the pain worsens. If necessary, seek timely medical attention for imaging tests. If diagnosed, you can also consider minimally invasive surgery for treatment. Pay attention to preventing infection. Recovery after surgery is generally quite fast. Don't worry too much. Focus on strengthening nutrition.
