Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Prognosis
If left untreated, congenital hernias can lead to complications such as bowel obstruction, strangulation (where blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off), and damage to the affected organs. Surgery is often required to repair congenital hernias to prevent these potentially serious complications. This would make the child happy, remove the pain and discomfort associated with the swelling.
