How To Treat Umbilical Hernia Symptoms?

Hi, My doctor said my son (1.6yrs old) has umbilical hernia symptoms and asked to go for a surgery. My son s naval has protruded little bit. Please suggest me if I go for surgery or we can wait for some more time to get the problem settled on its own. Thank you for your help. Regards, Sreek.
