Patient's question:
My brother's child has been hesitant to answer recently and often burps during dinner, sometimes for a long time. Sometimes he looks a bit silly, like he has infantile hernia. Now we are very concerned about his health. What are the current treatment time and methods for infantile hernia?Doctor's answer:
For pediatric hernia, the patient's age should also be considered. It is important to prevent the child from crying excessively. The method of manual reduction can be appropriately followed by the use of a hernia belt for local fixation. Careful observation of symptom relief is necessary. It is recommended to wait until the child is 6 months old before considering surgery to avoid increasing the risk of anesthesia complications. It is advised to choose a county children's hospital or a renowned hospital within the province for follow-up treatment.
