Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask how to care for a newborn after the umbilical cord bleeding.Doctor's answer:
When handling the umbilical cord, wash your hands thoroughly and then grasp the cord gently. Use a 75% disinfectant alcohol swab to disinfect around the base of the cord, removing all secretions and bloodstains. Do this 1 to 2 times daily to maintain cleanliness at the umbilical base. At the same time, it is essential to change diapers frequently to avoid urine and stool contamination of the umbilical area. If purulent discharge is observed at the umbilical base and the area is red, it indicates the occurrence of umbilical, and medical treatment should be sought.
