Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is over two years old this year. Recently, he has been crying non-stop, and when he cries, I notice his lower abdomen swells. They said it's because he's angry and gave me many folk remedies. Is it true that applying white vinegar and brown sugar with yellow wine can treat hydrocele?Doctor's answer:
Taking white peony root with brown sugar and yellow wine is not a valid treatment for hernia. This belief has not been clinically diagnosed or confirmed and lacks any scientific basis. It is not advisable to use so-called folk remedies to treat pediatric hernia, as this may delay diagnosis or lead to improper treatment and subsequent adverse effects. The most appropriate approach is to promptly take the child to a regular hospital's gastroenterology department for a thorough re-examination. A specialist doctor should determine the appropriate treatment method, such as conservative or surgical options, based on the actual condition.
