Patient's question:
Daughter has developed a hernia. These days, her appetite hasn't been good. She's been lacking appetite. Her stomach always feels uncomfortable. The baby always says it hurts. Seeing the baby like this, I feel very uncomfortable too. I want to know how to treat a hernia in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not acceptable to ignore the pain caused by pediatric inguinal hernia. This indicates that an incarceration has occurred within the hernia, which can lead to increased abdominal pain. Naturally, it affects the child's appetite and mood. To prevent the pain from worsening and the condition from deteriorating, the swelling should be reduced promptly through surgical treatment. Medication is not very effective for inguinal hernia. After the surgery, a liquid diet should be provided for the first 12 hours, gradually introducing other foods as the condition improves.
