Suggest Treatment For Supra Umbilical Hernia In A Child

Hi Doctor I am in office now, I got call from home saying my 2 yr old kid is crying for half an hr. Now they gave carmicide. He is having supra umbilical hernia with 5.5mm. Yesterday only we got the report of the ultra sound scan. Whether he is having stomach pain due to this hernia? Could you please advise. Thanks, Savitha

Hi,
From history child having constant crying since half an hour, no effect of carmicide and having umbilical hernia requires urgent medical attention of child.
There are all chances of some strangulation of intestines in umbilical hernia site resulting of constant crying.
Consult pediatric surgeon and get him examined.
Ok and take care.
I find this answer helpful
