Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should I handle the falling off of the umbilical cord?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the umbilical cord will gradually fall off. If you accidentally dropped it, you can disinfect it and don't need to go to the hospital. After disinfection, wrap it with sterile gauze. If you feel you can't handle it properly, it's still better to go to the hospital to have it treated to avoid infection.Hello, according to your description, it is generally not recommended to clean this situation. It's best not to, as it is inside the navel. If you clean it, it may cause discomfort in your stomach. I hope my answer helps you.
