If the baby 1 ~ 2 years old continues to have umbilical hernia (less than 2 cm in diameter), the hernia ring can be squeezed with gauze or bandage tape, but special attention should be paid to removing it every 1 ~ 2 weeks to observe whether there is allergic dermatitis at the tape to prevent navel inflammation caused by umbilical stress. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the baby from coughing and severe constipation. In addition, it is necessary to minimize the crying of the baby.
The common problem of baby's navel bulging is that in the case of baby crying, it is necessary to appease first, and whether crying is caused by umbilical hernia. Although umbilical hernia is a good disease, parents still need to pay attention to the condition of umbilical hernia. Unlike inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia will mostly recover on its own, basically without surgery, but inguinal hernia must be relieved by plastic surgery.
Mom doesn't need to gently press the navel every day to see if the intestine is almost gone. They just need to pay attention to the usual observation, such as changing the baby's diaper or observing the navel at night. When the baby releases more pressure and calms down, the small bag in the navel will sag slightly, just like the inflated balloon deflates slightly, and the skin will wrinkle more and more. But when the baby gradually has theme activities or cries, the small bag in the navel will become more and more round.
Some mothers immediately pressed the protruding navel with money, hoping to improve the situation according to the work pressure. However, the doctor specially reminded that whether it is pressed with money or wrapped with tape or clothes, it has no essential effect on umbilical hernia. On the contrary, it is easy to contact with skin inflammation, and in good summer, it is easier to cause itching due to heat.
