How to deal with a hernia at the age of 6?

Patient's question:

My baby is 6 years old this year, but I recently found that he has intestinal gas. My family is very worried about his health and doesn't understand how to treat it. So, I want to ask: what should I do about intestinal gas in a 6-year-old?

Doctor's answer:

Infantile inguinal hernia refers to the groin area. A 6-year-old child with an inguinal hernia should undergo surgical treatment. Your child should promptly seek examination and surgical treatment at a regular public hospital. Children should avoid strenuous exercise, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, drink sufficient water, maintain soft and smooth stools, and minimize the intake of spicy foods. A child's inguinal hernia refers to an inguinal hernia, which is caused by the weakness of the muscle layer in the groin area, leading to increased intra-abdominal pressure due to prolonged crying, and abdominal organs passing through the inguinal canal to the outside in a noticeable manner. It is important to promptly seek examination and treatment at a regular public hospital. The child should be fed reasonably and supplementary foods should be added on schedule, and every possible effort should be made to avoid crying.
