What is the reason why the baby's umbilical cord hasn't fallen off yet?

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. What should I do if the umbilical cord hasn't fallen off yet?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in your current situation, you just need to prevent infection. You can apply some gentian violet or tincture. The diet should be light and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water and get more sun.
The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so the family must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is essential. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
