Patient's question:
My son has had infantile hernia since he was born. I have been reluctant to have him undergo surgery because he is too young. Someone gave me four folk remedies for treating hernia. I would like to ask the doctor if it's okay to give my child these remedies freely, as they are all herbal.Doctor's answer:
Using folk remedies to treat hernia will definitely have poor effects. It is better to go to the hospital promptly for a detailed check-up with color Doppler ultrasound to assess the specific condition. Severe hernia can lead to intestinal necrosis or abdominal pain. After surgical treatment, it is necessary to undergo follow-up examinations regularly. When feeding the child dinner, it is important to practice small, frequent meals and avoid overly stimulating foods. For the care and health maintenance of any disease, it is essential to maintain a stable mindset, as a healthy and positive attitude greatly helps in both the treatment and prevention of illness.
