Patient's question:
The baby is nine months old and has undergone a minimally invasive hernia surgery 23 days ago. Can they go soak in an outdoor hot spring?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you: After a child's hernia surgery, if the wound has completely shed its scab, they can soak in a hot spring. If the scab is still present, it should be avoided, as there is a possibility of causing secondary infection. Based on your description, if the baby's minimally invasive incision skin has fully healed, they can take a bath. However, for a one-year-old and nine-month-old baby, it is not recommended to soak in a hot spring for a long time.
