Patient's question:
Baby is 75 days old. The first sign was white discharge, then after using purple antiseptic solution, it formed a scab. After the scab fell off, a small red bump appeared. The doctor at the hospital also recommended using purple antiseptic solution. After using it for two days, it's still wet. What should I do? What type of condition is this?Desired help: How to treat it, what medication is needed, is this umbilical granuloma or something else?
Doctor's answer:
According to the description, after the neonatal umbilical cord is stripped, inflammation infection can be effectively treated with antiseptic purple solution and drying. According to the description, if the umbilical cord stripping site has continuously increasing exudate but no signs of inflammation infection (local redness, swelling, purulent discharge are signs of infection), a very small amount of purple solution can be applied to effectively treat it. The above is advice on the question "Is it umbilical cord inflammation if the baby's navel is red with discharge?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
