23-day-old baby's navel has a little pus, what should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The baby's umbilicus is discharging pus, which is due to inflammation and infection. Normally, a baby's umbilicus falls off within half a month. However, since your baby's umbilicus is discharging pus, it indicates inflammation. It's best to take the baby to the hospital for a doctor's examination.
