Patient's question:
Little baby is 40 days old and very fussy. When crying, the area above the penis is hard. What could be the reason?Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered.
What kind of help is desired: Want to understand what is happening.
Doctor's answer:
It could be an inguinal hernia. In children, inguinal hernias are usually self-healing. Don't hurry. If it's serious, it's recommended to take the baby to the pediatric department of traditional Chinese medicine at the hospital. After all, if the baby cries too much, it might be due to internal heat or discomfort somewhere in the body. Also, the baby's crying could be a sign of calcium deficiency. It's advisable to give the baby more foods high in calcium, and expose the baby to sunlight more often to supplement other trace elements.
