Patient's question:
My child has a very bad temper. As long as it's not held, it cries extremely hard. At first, I thought that letting the child cry could help exercise their lungs, but recently I noticed that the navel has swollen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that the child has infantile hernia. I want to ask what method is the most effective for treating infantile hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hernia in children requires assessing the severity of the condition. If it is not severe, surgical treatment is generally not recommended. Conservative treatment methods, such as using a hernia belt to alleviate symptoms, can be adopted. As the body grows and develops, it usually recovers normally. If the recovery is not normal or if the condition is significantly more severe, surgical treatment can be considered again.
