Patient's question:
My child is completely different from other children. They often cry non-stop and don't eat anything. Even a little milk makes them vomit. They also frequently have fever, with high temperatures that don't go down. I suspect my child might have an inguinal hernia. I'd like to ask what are the symptoms of an inguinal hernia?Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. Pediatric hernia may occur several days, months, or even years after birth.
2. Typically, during crying, intense physical activity, or when constipated, a bulge-like mass may appear in the groin area, sometimes extending to the scrotum or labia; it will disappear on its own when lying down or pressing it with the hand.
3. Once the hernial mass becomes incarcerated, symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite, or crying and restlessness may occur.
