What Causes Recurring Lump Above Belly Button?
My 2 year old daughter has a lump above her belly button that seems to come and go and is only visable when she is standing. I dont think it hurts her but sometimes she does say it hurts. She is about 28 lbs. I am a nervous wreck! Could this be a hernia?

Hi,
From history it seems that she might be having umbilical hernia producing bulging from umbilicus particularly while standing or doing cough reflex.
You can big coin over that part covering with adhesive tap and keep for some days.
If hernia is small it be alright.
If problem persisted, consult pediatric surgeon and take his opinion about surgery.
Ok and take care.
