What are some of the better methods for treating pediatric hernias?

Patient's question:

The baby currently suffers from hernia and often cries. I am currently using a hernia belt to treat the baby, but it hasn't improved at all. Every time it recurs, it becomes unbearable. Therefore, I now want to have the child treated for pediatric hernia. I would like to understand what is the best method for treating pediatric hernia?

Doctor's answer:

For pediatric hernia, it is also necessary to pay attention to preventing excessive crying and various ways that can cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, including difficulties in defecation, or even constipation. Proper decisions should be made, and hernia belts should be used under medical advice for local fixation. Generally, the treatment has a very high possibility of self-resolution. If the treatment is ineffective or the local condition is too severe in the short term, it may be necessary to decide on surgical treatment.
