Patient's question:
The baby's hernia has been treated with a hernia belt and has not required surgery. Only the hernia belt was used, and it has been more than a year since it healed. Recently, the baby started school and has been crying a lot. I don't know if the hernia might flare up again?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the baby previously had a hernia and was cured with a hernia belt. That has been more than a year. Now that the child is in school, if they cry severely, there is still a possibility of recurrence. For this situation, I suggest you try to minimize the child's crying. Make sure the child drinks plenty of water and eats more fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and try to prevent constipation. This way, the hernia will definitely not recur.
