What treatment methods should be used for children with hernias?

Patient's question:

I went to visit my uncle's child yesterday and found that his child cries a lot. Moreover, his lower abdomen is swollen and hard. My uncle said that the child has a hernia since birth, which is why he cries a lot and is very thin. I don't know how to treat this condition.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is best to first adopt non-surgical treatment methods. For example, wearing a suitable hernia belt, applying topical herbal patches to acupoints, or taking oral herbal supplements to boost qi can be the best ways to achieve the goal of curing. Because surgery requires general anesthesia, which has potential side effects such as memory loss and intellectual development disorders.
