Patient's question:
My little one has recently been noticed to have a fluctuating lump in her navel when I hold her. Sometimes, when she's lying flat, the lump disappears. Some people say it might be an inguinal hernia. Which department should I consult for a pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
Dear parent friend, hello, it is a great pleasure to answer for you. Pediatric hernia needs to see general surgery. It is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner if there is a condition. If it is serious, surgery can be performed for repair. Pay attention to the child's complexion and breathing condition, and avoid crying and fussing. Pay attention to keeping warm to prevent catching a cold. Stay relaxed and don't be nervous. Feed the child as needed. Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear and keep dry. Pay attention to diet and get adequate rest.
