Hi i have lots sneezing today i had key whole hernia surgery 3 week ago it's dangerous?

Not dangerous: The chances are that you are OK. The hernia repair surgery usually withstands sneezing. However since your surgery was recent, if you are having symptoms in your hernia repair area, it would be best to have a follow-up visit with your surgeon for further evaluation. In the mean time it is best to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting until you see your surgeon.
