Patient's question:
How is the best treatment for children's hernia, and what are the ways to relieve it? Children experience this several times a month, and in such cases, they may become restless, cry, and be easily startled. How is infant hernia treated?Doctor's answer:
First, seek medical attention promptly, undergo a detailed examination to determine the severity of the hernia, and proceed with treatment. Since the hernia is not severe, it may heal on its own as the baby grows stronger. Generally, no special treatment is required, although a hernia belt can be chosen based on the baby's condition. Most babies will recover around the age of two. If the baby has not healed by itself after the age of two, surgical treatment will need to be considered.
