My husband had a hernia, carried my 6yr old and now is bloated and uncomfortable. feels pressure if he pushes on it. does that warrant an er visit?

Call your PCP: Sometimes a few simple things can be done at home to reduce the symptoms of a hernia. A call to his PCP could give you something to do immediately that would avoid an ER visit. If he or she thinks you should go in, then you have confirmation of that suggestion.
