My son is 1 year and 3 months old and suffering from inguinal hernia since birth. Initially the size of hernia was small however now a days it become large when he shout or cry which makes me afraid. I also consult with doctor before 2 months for the sergeory but doctor denied and said wait for 2 year more so that baby become more mature as this stage is not good for anesthesia dose. So please suggest me what should I do should I wait or consult with other one.and also please tell if I wait there is any serious issue occur.

Hello...... Most common type of hernia in children is indirect hernia.. Hernia don't cause any damage to child, wait for 2 year , strangulation is the only serious complication which can occur, but not in all cases.. That kind of hernia need immediate surgery.. Otherwise you can wait as your doctor said..
