What are the precautions after pediatric hernia surgery?

Inguinal hernia is commonly known as herniation. Many people think that hernia can heal itself, but this kind of people is a minority. Most people treat pediatric hernia through surgery. Precautions after pediatric hernia surgery should also be taken seriously. Postoperative care is also important.

1. After the child has finished the operation, you must remember not to let the child move around in the bed. Even if the child is in pain, try to calm the child down and let the child lie flat on the bed with the body facing up to distract the child from being sensitive to pain. Your child must not be given any food, including water and milk, within six hours after surgery. Otherwise it will damage the child's knife wound.

2. Children can eat six hours after hernia surgery, which is beneficial to the healing of the child's wound. At this time, it is best to give your child only liquid food. It is best to pair liquid food with porridge made from lean meat, pork rib soup and other foods. At the beginning, it is not easy to feed too much, but to take in small amounts and observe the child's reaction. If there is no vomiting, you can continue feeding.

3. Remember not to bathe your child for one week after the operation to prevent water from getting on the child's wound and causing oral infection. And after a week, you can use a wet towel to wipe other parts of the child's body, but remember not to let water touch the wound. If you find that your child has a slight fever or bleeding, you must see a doctor immediately and ask for advice. Also, children should eat some liquid food right after surgery, avoid eating foods that are difficult to digest, and supplement with more nutrition, which will help the child's recovery.

4. Notes: You must pay attention to your child's physical health, make sure to supplement your child with nutrition, and always pay attention to your child's postoperative recovery. If you are not careful, it will lead to poor recovery of the child and affect the child's life.
