Hernia in children is a very common pediatric disease that is difficult to prevent. However, many people do not know what to do when they learn that their children have this disease, and begin to inquire about treatment methods and precautions for children with hernias. So what are the hazards of runny nose during pediatric hernia surgery?
Babies with runny nose cannot undergo hernia surgery. From a medical perspective, this condition may be considered to be caused by a cold, and hernia surgery for babies requires anesthesia. If surgery is performed when sick, it may not be appropriate. At the same time, baby's runny nose and other physical discomfort can cause the baby to be unable to calm down, and excessive activity can increase abdominal pressure, which is not conducive to surgery.
If the condition does not require it, a comprehensive preoperative examination should be performed when the baby has a runny nose. If the baby is suitable for hernia surgery and only has mild runny nose and no symptoms of bacterial infection, such as fever, surgery is generally possible. But it is important to pay attention to care, prevent the cold from worsening, drink plenty of warm water, adjust indoor temperature and humidity, which can help with disease recovery. The presence of bacterial and viral infections can be determined by examining blood and other items.
Hernia is caused by excessive intra-abdominal pressure, and if the patient's overwork increases abdominal pressure, the symptoms of hernia will change. Coughing, crying, vigorous exercise, constipation, etc. are all things to avoid. Just like now, if a child needs to undergo hernia surgery, has a cold and runny nose, and has symptoms of coughing, surgery should also be avoided.
