The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask what to do if the umbilical cord of the newborn is not good.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, it is related to infection. Generally, you can apply Yunnan Baiyao externally and disinfect with povidone-iodine, which can heal well. Eat easily digestible and absorbable food, and avoid bad stimuli.
The child is affected by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to the hospital immediately for treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is necessary. For parents, it is important to observe the changes in the child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
