How to care for a baby's umbilical cord after it falls off

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Please ask how to care for an infant's umbilical stump after it falls off.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in your current situation, it is enough 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. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, don't be anxious and should take the child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner. Also, pay attention to regular check-ups for the child and take medication according to the doctor's guidance.
