What kind of medicine should children with hernia take?

Patient's question:

My colleague's baby is 3 years old this year. Nowadays, due to the baby often crying, a problem of intestinal gas has been discovered. I'm quite worried. I want to know what medicine the baby should take for intestinal gas.

Doctor's answer:

Pediatric hernia is a relatively common congenital disease, usually requiring a diet rich in fiber to prevent constipation. Conservative treatment for children under one year old typically involves the use of a hernia ring, but it is not always effective. Surgical treatment is recommended for children over one year old. Pediatric hernia can be surgically repaired, but recurrence may occur occasionally after the surgery. If a child is crying and the hernia cannot be retracted, it may indicate an inguinal hernia strangulation, and emergency medical attention should be sought immediately. Medication has no therapeutic effect on hernias.
