Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How should I handle a cold navel in infants?Doctor's answer:
The umbilical cord of a newborn baby is best left exposed until it naturally falls off. If the temperature feels too low, it's advisable to heat the entire room, but avoid wrapping anything around the umbilical cord, as this can hinder its detachment and may lead to inflammation or pus formation.It's okay. After giving birth, the body is weak, so it's important to consume a large amount of protein, vitamins, and minerals. Examples include fresh fish, chicken, eggs, lean meat, jujubes, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. It's also important to pay special attention to avoiding spicy foods and refraining from engaging in heavy physical labor, among other things.
