If your baby is always feeling nauseous, it might be due to a hernia and requires active treatment.
Hernias are often caused by weaknesses in the abdominal wall, and the typical symptom is the appearance of a groin lump or even a hernia into the scrotum when the baby cries. The lump usually disappears when the baby rests or sleeps. For babies under 2 years old, conservative treatment can be initially considered, such as using a hernia belt for fixation. If the hernia persists beyond 2 years, surgical treatment should be considered. The sooner the surgery is performed, the lower the risk of recurrence. Additionally, it is important to avoid crying and coughing due to colds to reduce the frequency of hernia occurrence.
