Patient's question:
My cousin's child has been feeling particularly unwell recently, and I don't know why. She rushed to the hospital for outpatient check-up, and the diagnosis was a hernia. My cousin had never heard of this before, so she wanted to ask how to deal with a child who has a hernia.Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, the causes of hernia are often due to excessive force from coughing, sneezing, straining during bowel movements, or excessive crying in children. It is possible to have a hernia, and you should take your child to be examined. If it is not severe, it can be treated without surgery. You should go to the hospital and let the doctor guide you on how to apply pressure to make the swelling retract. If it is not treated, it will require surgical treatment. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
