Is the pediatric hernia belt good for hernia belts?

Patient's question:

15 months, boy, discovered a month ago, the baby comes down when crying or tired/exhausted. Basically, it drops once a day. The size is like a date. It can go back on its own. I would like to ask, is it good to use a hernia belt for the baby?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's a pleasure to assist you; a hernia belt is useful for inguinal hernias, and surgery is not necessary before the age of two. You can also try making one yourself: take a one-yuan coin and place a similarly sized cotton ball (unbleached) underneath it. After pushing the intestines back in, use adhesive tape to secure it to the navel. Remember that applying the tape requires a bit of pressure. Generally, it takes about one or two months to heal. If it doesn't work, it's recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
