Patient's question:
My child is only seven years old but suffers from a hernia. A few days ago, after the hernia surgery, I intentionally avoided the incision site when bathing my child every day, but the incision is still swollen and red. What should I do about the large protrusion and redness at the incision site after a seven-year-old's hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you mentioned, the incision of the hernia surgery has re-emerged with protrusion and redness. Most of the time, this is caused by inflammation due to many local bacteria. It may be due to neglecting cleanliness recently or excessive exercise. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Currently, you can also appropriately apply anti-inflammatory medications externally. Please follow the doctor's advice regarding specific medications. At the same time, pay attention to dietary restrictions.
