Patient's question:
Five-year-old boy thought he had already had hernia surgery.Doctor's answer:
For this infantile hernia, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine should be considered for treatment, which generally yields good results. Using a hernia belt is usually a good option, but it can be challenging for children to wear it. If the child cries or becomes agitated due to the belt, it may worsen the hernia symptoms. We recommend using the hernia belt while also taking modified Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Strengthen the Middle and Invigorate Qi Decoction).As everyone knows, hernia can cause significant harm to patients, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, dietary precautions should be taken—avoid foods (irritating foods) and maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
