Patient's question:
My precious son is 2 years old this year. He learned in the hospital that he suffered from hernia. After the surgery, he is at home, but he doesn't know what to eat best to recover his health. He couldn't find the answer online either. Could you please tell me what fruits are good for children after hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, in this case, after pediatric hernia surgery, it is recommended to eat less spicy, irritating, and seafood, and maintain a light diet. Normal eating can be resumed one week after the surgery. Fruits like bananas can be consumed appropriately, which is beneficial for bowel movements and reducing abdominal pressure. Other types of fresh fruits can also be eaten, and it is advisable to drink fish soup, chicken soup, etc.Conservative treatment and surgical treatment can be used for small intestinal gas, as there is a possibility of spontaneous healing within the first year of age. Surgical treatment is generally considered for those over one year old. After small intestinal gas surgery, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy flavors, and consume more fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, which is beneficial for wound healing. It is recommended to eat more milk, eggs, black fungus, kelp, and fish liver oil to aid in wound healing.
