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 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 a pediatric Traditional Chinese Medicine department in the hospital. After all, excessive crying in babies might indicate internal heat or discomfort somewhere in their body. Additionally, the baby's crying could be due to calcium deficiency. It's advisable to give the baby more foods high in calcium, and expose them to sunlight more often to supplement other trace elements.
