What is the best food for children with hernia?

If a child is diagnosed with a hernia, you must pay attention to the child's daily diet, because a reasonable diet is very beneficial to the child's physical recovery. If you do not pay attention to it, the child's hernia problem will worsen. So what is best for children to eat when they have hernia? Today I will summarize it for you.

1. Eat more fresh, nutritious and easy-to-digest fruits and vegetables, such as apples, grapes, oranges, kiwis, tomatoes, eggplants, asparagus, etc. Because hernias can occur in infancy, you should always pay attention to your child's groin or scrotum during this period to see if they are swollen or if there is a lump that appears and disappears. If you have any questions, consult a doctor immediately.

2. When eating vegetables, try to make them lighter. For example, eggplant can be steamed and made into eggplant trays, and then eaten with flour; tomatoes can be made into egg soup, etc. You can eat some foods that have the effect of replenishing qi, such as yam, chicken, eggs, fish, meat, etc.

3. For staple food, eat more coarse grains, which can help digestion and facilitate bowel movements. When a child has dry stools, laxative measures should be taken and the child should not be forced to strain to defecate.

4. Drink a glass of light salt water on an empty stomach every morning and a glass of honey before going to bed. This will keep bowel movements smooth and help relieve the symptoms of intestinal hernia.

5. Yogurt is a good thing and you can drink more of it. But remember not to mix it with carbonated drinks to avoid bloating, which may cause lower abdominal symptoms and aggravate small intestinal hernia. Don't let your child cough loudly. Children with cough should take appropriate cough suppressants under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid letting your child cry loudly to prevent increased abdominal pressure.

Therefore, when a child suffers from hernia, it is necessary to improve the child's diet in time, which can help relieve the child's physical discomfort. It is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining a good living condition and try not to make the child feel irritable or make the child cry often.
