My 3-year-old son was diagnosed with mild hydrocele with no hernia. The pediatrician referred us to a surgeon, and we have an appointment today. I wanted to know if surgery is the only option or if there are medications available too. Also, is it safe to wait a year or two until he's older for the surgery?

Usually 3 years is too late for conservative management. So most likely a survey will be required . However no medication are available to treat this condition

View allI'm really worried because my belly button is sore and there's this clear, thin discharge coming out of it that smells really bad. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol for any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
