Diagnosed With A Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia
My grandaughter who is three and a half months old was diagnosed with a paraesophageal hiatal hernia. The repair was done a little over a week ago. Now, she will not take a bottle, is fed through a tube in her stomach, and is now gagging and acting like she's in distress. My daughter doesn't know what to do.

Greetings of the day
In the immediate post operative period the babies are usually feed through nasogastric tube. Sometimes the repair may be too tight so that would lead on to gagging.
It should settle down in another wek.
