Question
Recently, my baby has been feeling a bit uncomfortable, always snoring during sleep, and after visiting the hospital, the doctor said it’s a baby hernia. So I want to ask how to alleviate and treat baby hernias?
Answer
The most common symptom of a hernia is a lump in the inguinal area, which can be seen or felt there. It suddenly appears when the sick child is calm or sleeping. Therefore, when parents discover that their child has a hernia, they should immediately take the child to a regular hospital. Children under 6 months old may not temporarily accept treatment but need close observation. Children over 6 months with an enlarged hernia or a history of incarceration should receive treatment as soon as possible.
