1. How to treat hernia in children <br/> Hernia in children is a chronic disease. Don't be too nervous after you find it. First, go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Generally, conservative treatment is recommended for children under one year old, that is, the use of a hernia bag for treatment. During the treatment, avoid violent crying in children, which will increase abdominal pressure and cause the hernia to become larger. If the hernia in children has not returned to normal after one year old, surgery must be performed. The surgery only requires a small hole of a few millimeters in the abdomen to achieve complete cure, and the possibility of recurrence is extremely small. It is the most effective way to treat hernia.
2. Care after hernia treatment <br/>If conservative treatment is adopted, children should be prevented from crying violently. Violent crying will cause the hernia to enlarge and have a certain impact on conservative treatment. If surgical treatment is adopted, children should be prevented from strenuous exercise after the operation. The surgical wound should be kept clean and dry, and avoid contact with water to avoid postoperative infection.
