My 2-year-old daughter has a small 3.4mm inguinal hernia on the right side. A few doctors have recommended surgery, but I'm worried about putting her through an operation at such a young age. Are there any non-surgical options to treat this or could it heal on its own? What would you suggest for her case?

I've been really worried because I had my appendix removed almost two weeks ago and now my left side is constantly in pain and feels swollen. Is it possible I could be dealing with a hernia after the appendectomy? What steps should I take next?
It is possible to develop an incisional hernia after an appendectomy, especially if there was a weakness in the abdominal wall or if there was increased pressure in the abdomen post-surgery. The symptoms of a hernia include pain, swelling, and a bulge at the site of the surgical incision. It is important to have this evaluated by your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen for pain relief.
