What are the better methods for treating infant hernia?

Patient's question:

The baby has an inguinal hernia and it hurts very much. It hurts very much, seeking medical treatment. What medicine can be used to treat it? This condition has not improved, and the baby is quite worried about the illness. The family is also very concerned.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, treatment is not recommended before the age of 2, as it may improve on its own. Usually, just paying attention to prevent factors that increase abdominal pressure, such as constipation, indigestion, and crying, may allow the hernia to heal on its own. If a hernia bag can be purchased to cover the weak area of the hernia, it may further slow down the process of natural healing. If the hernia re-enters and cannot be reduced, emergency surgery should be performed at any time.
