Patient's question:
Currently, there is a bleeding phenomenon at the navel. About the previous treatment and its effectiveness: No tests, careful examination results: None. In any case, what assistance is needed: I want to know what to do? How should I take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
Highly suspicious of umbilical inflammation. The concave area of the navel is prone to accumulating water and dirt, and a damp, warm environment provides an opportunity for bacterial growth and adaptation. Mild umbilical inflammation may result in fluid leakage from the navel or cloudy purulent discharge; severe cases may lead to bacteria entering the bloodstream, causing sepsis.Advice: For mild umbilical inflammation, apply 2% gentian violet solution locally and keep the navel dry at all times. When purulent discharge is present, use antibiotics for treatment. Severe cases should be treated at a hospital.
