How to care for umbilical hernia in children

summary

My nephew has been more than a month, but the navel protrudes 2-3cm. The doctor says it's umbilical hernia. The doctor also suggested that as long as the baby's health is good, growth and development is smooth, and there are no complications, then even the umbilical hernia is not too big a problem, the navel base is still open ring structure, the diameter is not more than one centimeter, innocuous, etc. when the baby grows up gradually, the structure and function of the body mature, generally in about one year old will shrink and disappear. So, today I would like to share with you about the daily care of children with umbilical hernia.

How to care for umbilical hernia in children

First: first and foremost, try not to let the baby cry and do less strenuous exercise. Pay attention to keep good mood in nursing. Reduce crying, avoid cough, abdominal distension or constipation, which can reduce abdominal pressure.

Second: you can make your own belly bag, put a coin in the navel area, press the umbilical hernia, and it will be better gradually. Our baby is so good.

Third: if the protrusion is serious, you can use your hands to gently protrude the part and rub it down as far as possible, but if it is too serious, you need to see a doctor immediately for surgical treatment.

matters needing attention

With the growth and development of the baby, the umbilical hernia with smaller diameter can be self-healing at about 1 year old. If the umbilical hernia is getting bigger and bigger, those who are still not healed at 2 years old should be operated in time. Parents generally don't have to be nervous, but parents must take care of daily care.
