Hernia is very common in children from birth to 5 years of age. According to scientific data, more than 5% of children have a hernia. The ratio of boys and girls is 10: 1. A hernia can be removed with surgery or daily massages, which will be discussed in this article. It is useless to go to grandmothers and midwives, because you can simply start a disease. What is a hernia? "A hernia is a pathological protrusion that can occur in various anatomical areas." A hernia consists of a "bag", hernial contents and a ring, from which "a bag with hernial contents falls out."
Instructions
Step 1
The first and most important rule that you must follow in order to cure a hernia in a child is to constantly spread the baby on his stomach. Secure the hernia with a plaster before spreading. Gently tuck the hernial sac into the umbilical ring, place a rolled cotton ball, make a small vertical fold in the abdominal cavity to hide the navel, and cover the cross with an adhesive plaster. Remove the bandage only after bathing, and after the baby's skin is dry, stick a new one.
Step 2
We put the baby on his stomach and proceed to the massage. It will help to cure a hernia in about 1, 5-2 months. We stroke the baby's back, butt, legs. From the heels to the neck and back. Gently, softly, carefully, repeat the movements five times.
Step 3
We turn the baby over on his back and bend his legs, pressing them to the tummy. We repeat 6 times.
Step 4
Now let's move on to hand massage. The baby lies on his back, you take his hand in yours and stroke from hand to shoulder on the outside of the shoulder and forearm, back on the inside. Repeat 6 times with each hand.
Step 5
Lay the baby on his right side and, with slight pressure, slide two fingers around the spine, starting from the buttocks to the shoulder girdle. The spine should be between the toes. The kid will straighten his back - this is a reflex. Do this once on each side.
Step 6
Now we take the child's shins. We bend, unbend. Each leg 6-7 times.
Step 7
We turn the baby over on his back and bend his legs, pressing him to the tummy. Each leg 6-7 times.
Step 8
Let's move on to hand massage. Take the baby's pen in yours and start stroking. We iron the outer side of the hand from the wrist to the shoulder, backward along the inner side. Repeat 6 times on each hand.
Step 9
Lay the baby on its side. Spread two fingers apart and place them so that the child's spine is between them. Run your fingers along the spine from the buttocks to the shoulder girdle, and the baby will straighten his back. This is a reflex. Do the exercise 1 time on each side.
