In current medicine, pediatric hernia does have a high incidence rate. If the child is relatively young when it occurs, you can pay attention to observation.

Pediatric hernia is a relatively common pediatric disease with many causes. First of all, if the processus vaginalis is not completely closed after birth, a hernia is likely to form, and the chance of occurrence is higher in boys, so it is necessary to receive treatment as soon as possible. But what are the treatments for pediatric hernia?
1. Conservative treatment <br/>If the symptoms of hernia in children are not serious, conservative treatment methods can be used. Gently kneading and pushing the body back to normal can effectively relieve the symptoms. Surgery can be performed after the child is older. However, if the hernia is very hard, go to the hospital for treatment immediately.
2. Use a hernia belt <br/>Using a hernia belt is also very effective. First of all, it should be made clear that the use of a hernia belt is not effective for every patient. However, special attention should be paid when using the hernia belt. If there is obvious falling off, the treatment effect will not be achieved.
3. Use manual reduction <br/>Manual reduction is also the most common treatment method at present. It is only used for emergency treatment and can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. However, it is best not to use it repeatedly. In addition, there are strict standards for the use of manual reduction. It is only for certain patients, and professional techniques must be used during the entire operation. Otherwise, there will be no effect at all, and intestinal rupture may occur.
4. Reduce the child's crying <br/>In fact, during the entire treatment process, it is also necessary to pay attention to the care of daily life. Children with hernia should try to avoid crying or coughing. They should pay attention to rest. When falling, the navel can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. In addition, they must pay special attention to rest and avoid strenuous exercise. Hernia patients should increase nutrition appropriately. In daily life, they should choose more foods that have the effect of replenishing qi, such as lentils, yam, chicken, eggs, fish, meat, etc.
