Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. He found out he had a hernia at the hospital and had surgery. He is recovering at home now, but I don't know what to eat to help him recover. I haven't found any information online. What should a child eat after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, conservative treatment and surgical treatment can be used for pediatric hernia, as it may heal on its own within a year. Surgical treatment should be considered for children over one year old. After hernia surgery, the diet should be light, avoiding spicy foods, and eating more fruits and vegetables to help with wound healing. It is recommended to include more milk, eggs, black fungus, kelp, and cod liver oil in the diet. It is recommended to go to a professional hospital for examination.
