Question
My two-year-old child gets a big lump every time they cry or have a bowel movement. We’ve checked it at the Oil Field Central Hospital, and they said there’s nothing serious, just wait a bit before surgery. But the child seems uncomfortable. The lump gets big every time they have a bowel movement or cry, so I’m worried.
Answer
Hernia symptoms can be tried with three-layer fennel balls and middle-yin tonifying pills; they usually improve. If there are recurrent attacks, surgery can be considered. Care and rest are crucial. Children have weaker body resistance, so they are more prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, don’t worry too much; it’s important to take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, make sure to give the child regular check-ups and treat them according to the doctor’s guidance.
