Pediatric hernia is not a specific type. Generally speaking, pediatric hernia often refers to the baby's belly button area, where there is a large bump that needs to be treated and pushed back in a timely manner. But how to push it, many people are not very clear. So, how to push back a hernia in children?
When a child has a hernia, pushing them back can help reduce the risk by placing them flat on their back. You can also elevate the child's lower body, so that the hernia will disappear after treatment. Specifically, after the child lies down, raise their hips a bit and then use their hands to press and knead the area of the child's hernia.
Parents can hear a gurgling sound in their child's abdomen, indicating that the detached mass has returned to the child's abdominal cavity. The main difference here is that some pediatric hernias are very hard and cannot be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. At the same time, some children may experience symptoms such as fever, abdominal pain, and vomiting, indicating that the situation is quite serious.
Hernia in children can lead to entrapment, which is still a serious situation. Parents should not blindly push it. This situation should be promptly treated with surgery for the child. Generally speaking, pediatric hernias can heal on their own, but it should be noted that some children may still have hernias after the age of one, and if they do not gradually disappear, they need to be examined and treated.
