Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for a 1-year-old baby's navel being cool?Doctor's answer:
Hello, perhaps it's the child's curiosity or maybe they feel itchy, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Just make sure to clean the child thoroughly while bathing. Of course, it's still best not to let them scratch it anymore.Because the navel is the end of the intestine. Due to the body's daily metabolism, some waste products are not immediately expelled, and over time, they accumulate at the end of the intestine, forming dirt. I suggest just rinsing it with clean water while bathing, without scrubbing or scratching, as this is not good for the body. It can easily allow dirt to enter the body, leading to infection and causing many diseases.
If you notice them scratching the navel again, divert their attention.
