Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask about the treatment for umbilical abscess in infants.Doctor's answer:
After the umbilical cord falls off, if the umbilical stump is moist or even discharging pus, it can be disinfected by wiping with 75% alcohol and then applying some umbilical powder to reduce inflammation and promote dryness, in order to prevent the occurrence of umbilical inflammation. If the umbilical cord has not fully healed after 10 days, it is considered abnormal and should be seen by a doctor promptly. Based on your description, it is currently mainly a normal phenomenon. Regular follow-up is sufficient, and it is important to boost your immunity.
