What should I do if my newborn's umbilical cord is inflamed?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Navel inflammation, do not take medication, especially do not take anti-inflammatory drugs. You can apply some topical medication to the inflamed area of the navel. First, clean the inflamed area with a mild saltwater solution, then use a cotton swab to apply iodine to it. Do this 2-3 times a day.
