Patient's question:
Main symptoms My baby is 5 months old and the navel always flows sticky water. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: didn't care what kind of assistance: want to know why the baby's navel always flows sticky waterDoctor's answer:
Your child's condition is considered to be infant umbilical inflammation. Change your child's disinfected diapers frequently to prevent contamination from feces and urine. Do not let the diaper cover the umbilical area to avoid the growth and adaptation of anaerobic bacteria. Create a clean environment in the bedroom. Bedding, underwear, towels, and baby diapers should preferably be made of antibacterial fabric.Advice: If your baby develops umbilical inflammation, for mild inflammation, you can use 3% hydrogen peroxide to clean the affected area, then apply povidone-iodine after rinsing. Alternatively, grind the tablets of Qingti Lian Sulfon into a fine powder and sprinkle it on the umbilical area, while ensuring the area remains dry at all times.
