How to handle a found umbilical cord of a newborn baby

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, the umbilical cord falls off on its own within one week after the child is born. Based on your description, the situation may be caused by inflammation. For your child's current condition, it is recommended to take your child to the hospital for examination to determine if there is inflammation. It is also advised to use povidone-iodine for local disinfection for several days.
