The child needs to be examined first to confirm diagnosis.If the swelling reduces on lying down probably it is hernia.USG of inguino scrotal region has to be done. After confirmation of diagnosis pre anaesthetic fitness of child has to be taken and to be planned for right inguinal herniotomy ( hernia surgery).
