Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? May I ask if a one-month-old baby's umbilical cord can get wet when taking a bath?Doctor's answer:
Hello, no, it is possible to take a bath, but the indoor temperature should be adjusted to around 28 degrees to avoid catching a cold. The umbilical cord can be disinfected with povidone-iodine, which is not a problem. Generally, swimming is possible about 48 hours after birth.Hello, does the baby need to be vaccinated? You can check for antibodies. Under normal circumstances, booster shots are needed every two to three years. If there are no antibodies, the vaccination needs to be repeated three times.
