[|Human|] My 13 month old baby boy was lying on his back falling asleep and I was rubbing his tummy. I could feel a round kind of lump, very soft, thought it was maybe one of his muscles but it moved slowly to one side then back to the other side again. It was below his rib cage but above his belly button. Could it be winds or something else. Or am I just being paranoid?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor Clinic. Ans-Your 13 MTV baby seems to have Epigastric ventral Hernia, due to congenital defect in the Line Alba, central crisscross fibers of aponeurosis tissue. To resolve any doubts about its cause, get Second Opinion from Surgeon and get the USG under his guidance. Further directions for needful treatment would be given from your Surgeon accordingly after full physical examination and investigation.Thus, it's not the winds. So don't get paranoid. Start planning the treatment with your Er surgeon at earliest, as negligence may cause more complications of obstruction/incarceration/or strangulation of the hernial contents, as the babies are quite agile and active. Hope this would help you to plan your treatment with your doctor and resolve this problem at the earliest.
