Patient's question:
I want to ask that my son is nine days old. Just now, I noticed that the umbilical cord stump of his is almost falling off, but there is yellow stuff inside. Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it might be a localized infection, which refers to the process where pathogens invade the body and establish themselves in a specific location, grow and reproduce, produce toxic substances, and continuously damage the body. It is prone to purulent discharge, so it is recommended to start antibiotic treatment via intravenous administration as early as possible. The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so family members must take the child to seek medical treatment promptly to avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention, and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
