Patient's question:
My colleague's baby is 3 years old this year. Nowadays, due to the situation where the child often cries, a problem of intestinal gas has been discovered. I'm quite worried. I want to know what medicine the baby should take for intestinal gas.Doctor's answer:
Pediatric hernia is a relatively common congenital disease. A diet containing fiber is usually required to prevent constipation. Conservative treatment for children under one year old typically involves the use of a hernia ring, but it is not always effective. Surgical treatment is recommended for children over one year old. Pediatric hernias can be surgically repaired. Occasionally, recurrence may occur after surgery. If the child cries excessively and the hernia cannot be retracted, it may indicate an impending strangulated hernia. Immediate emergency care should be sought. Medication has no therapeutic effect on hernias.
