Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Navel Area

Brief Answer:
Hernia seems most probable reason.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Swollen belly button is usually caused by a hernia in this area. As there is some fat inside the hernia, you may feel no pain or any other symptoms.
I suggest you to consult general surgeon. Surgical repair of this hernia should be considered.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
