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 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 needed to prevent constipation. Children under one year old are treated conservatively, while those over one year old undergo surgical treatment. Pediatric hernia can be treated surgically, and recurrence may occur occasionally after surgery. If a child cries uncontrollably and the hernia lump cannot retract, it may indicate an incisional hernia, and emergency medical attention should be sought immediately.
