Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, infant hernia is relatively easy to detect. Children with pediatric hernia will have a bulging lump in their abdomen or lower abdomen. Severe cases may exhibit symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, or restlessness.
Guidance: If parents notice their child has a hernia, they should not be too worried. If they can push it back themselves, it can often resolve on its own. This condition is not serious for them. Use a truss for maintenance, and avoid strenuous exercise. If the situation is severe, parents should take their child to a professional for examination to determine if surgical treatment is necessary.
