Question
How should I handle a red, hard lump around my child’s anus?
Answer
Hemorrhoids can be treated by boiling fig leaves and using the water for a soak, which is often more effective than general medication. You can try this method. For severe thrombosed external hemorrhoids, consider surgical treatment to prevent tissue necrosis. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to pediatric general surgery issues. Parents should not panic and should take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment promptly. Additionally, it’s important to conduct regular checks on your child and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance.
