Patient's question:
Since the child developed an inguinal hernia, it has been more than ten days. At first, there was a sensation of abdominal distension and pain, and the child often felt stomach pain. I would like to know what medicine can relieve the pain of pediatric hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Pediatric inguinal hernia is one of the most common diseases in pediatric surgery and hernia surgery, mainly including congenital inguinal hernia and umbilical hernia. A diet rich in fiber is recommended to prevent constipation. Children under one year old are treated conservatively, while those over one year old undergo surgical treatment. Pediatric inguinal hernia can be treated surgically, but there may be occasional recurrences post-surgery. If a child is crying uncontrollably and the hernia lump cannot be retracted, it may indicate an inguinal hernia strangulation, and emergency medical attention should be sought immediately.
