Patient's question:
Child has infantile hernia, infantile hernia, a big lump appears every time they cry, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, hello, umbilical cord inflammation refers to an acute inflammation caused by bacteria invading and multiplying from the umbilical cord stump. Common pathogens include Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and hemolytic streptococcus. Patients with mild symptoms should clean the umbilical cord with a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution or povidone-iodine 2 to 3 times a day. Those with diffuse symptoms around the umbilical cord or systemic symptoms should receive antibiotic treatment. If the child is under one year old, this condition may heal on its own. However, inguinal hernia in children over one year old cannot heal on its own, and surgery is the only effective treatment. Follow the advice of local doctors based on the child's condition.
