The other day, i was changing DD's nappy and noticed a large lump. She was screaming blue murder at the time, telling me her wee hurt, so i pulled the nappy off to find a really acidic nappy that had burnt her (we suspect pineapple sensitivity - but that's an aside)

anyway, i noticed the lump, called hubby and by the time he worked maybe 10m to get to us, it was gone, and dd was settling down. the lump was about the size of a golf ball on her right side, just above the join from her leg to her body. we decided to keep an eye on it, and haven't seen it since

til tonight - again, she was screaming blue murder, but didn't have a nappy on. she told Daddy it hurt and was grabbing at the area - again, a golf ball sized lump, and she was telling us it hurt

she wriggled a bit while i was trying to look, and it disappeared again

does this sound like a hernia? if it is a hernia, what do we do (obviously we need to get her checked, but is there any way we can help her?) what treatments are there?

i grabbed my phone as soon as it happened tonight, and managed to get a pic, so i have "evidence" to show gp - i'm just worried about her. poor princess!
