Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How should I deal with a 21-month-old baby who likes to scratch their navel?Doctor's answer:
This indicates that her navel is inflamed, showing signs of inflammation in a physiological area, which requires active treatment. Disinfection is necessary, along with a urinalysis. Based on the test results, a treatment plan should be determined. Additionally, the area should be cleaned frequently to maintain hygiene. Swollen lymph nodes typically require 5–7 days to recover, so there is no need to panic. I recommend taking your child to the hospital for a blood test and using antibiotics appropriately. Drinking plenty of plain water, keeping warm, and preventing colds are also important.
