Hi, inguinal hernia in a 3 year child should be treated surgically. There is no medical treatment for that. Also, you should not delay the operation because chances of complications increase with age. Open YouTube application on mobile and search Doctor Deepak Patel. Watch health related videos. Subscribe for more videos. Take care.
