My baby is a premature child, and 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 get worse. What should I do if the umbilical cord does not fall 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 and get more sun.
The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so the mother 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.
