Hernia in children is a very common disease, and some children may experience vomiting symptoms during a hernia attack, which can scare many parents and friends. For parents and friends, it is necessary to understand the methods that can improve the symptoms of vomiting in children with hernia. So, what should be done for vomiting in children with hernia?
1. Conservative treatment. When vomiting occurs in children with hernias, it is necessary to promptly clean the foreign objects in the mouth to avoid blocking the respiratory tract. At the same time, make the child lie flat and calm their emotions. For children under one year old with hernia, it is likely to heal on its own. Therefore, when a hernia occurs, retracting the hernia block and using a hernia band to locally compress the affected area can effectively prevent the hernia contents from protruding. If the hernia does not retract, it is likely to be trapped and should be treated promptly at the hospital.
2. Surgical treatment. If the child with hernia is over one year old, the hernia will not heal on its own, and surgical treatment may be considered at this time. In addition, some children, although younger than one year old, may experience recurrent incarcerated or large inguinal hernias, often requiring surgical treatment. If the child is over one year old but physically weak and has a small inguinal hernia, it may be considered to wait until the child is slightly older before undergoing surgery.
Hernia in children is a difficult disease to prevent, as it is caused by congenital developmental abnormalities. However, avoiding low birth weight infants and premature birth can reduce the incidence of pediatric hernias. In addition, children with hernia should try to avoid symptoms such as crying, constipation, and coughing in their daily lives, otherwise it is easy to cause hernia attacks.
