Patient's question:
The umbilical cord of the baby took more than 80 days to fall off. Two days later, it was found that there were small granulations inside the navel, and it was always oozing. Is it serious? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may 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. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more susceptible to pediatric general surgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, routine check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medication should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.
