My son is 15 months old and has had a slight bulge in his ground the last few nights. It goes away when he sleeps, and is not present until later in the day. When he lays back it will go away(with a liquid noise) when gently pushed. I am assuming this to be a hernia, and it is causing no other signs of discomfort or distress. Again it is only present around 5pm the last few nights and he goes to bed at 7:30pm.

We live in a very small town and our doctor is gone until next Monday, the clinic scheduled us for next week when she is back but I’m wondering if we should make the drive to see someone else earlier?
