How to handle it after the umbilical cord of a newborn falls off

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the condition may worsen. How should I handle it when the umbilical cord falls off?

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. The child is troubled by neonatal diseases, so the mother must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment and avoid using small advertisements for drugs blindly. Rational medication is needed. For parents, it is important to provide the child with enough care and attention and to help them receive timely treatment for the disease as much as possible.
