Question
A child often has stomach pain, and today they have a fever. After getting a shot, it’s said to be tonsillitis causing the fever. So, what could be causing the stomachache? Could it be a pediatric hernia?
Answer
Hello! Based on the described situation, it may be related to mesenteric lymphadenitis. An abdominal ultrasound examination can provide a definitive diagnosis. Generally, the recurrence of hernias after surgery is still relatively rare, but parents should pay close attention to care during this time. Try to avoid activities such as crying, coughing, constipation, and strenuous exercise (severe exercise) for children with pediatric hernias after surgery. It’s important to increase nutrition post-surgery; you can let the child eat some Qi-tonifying foods.
