Patient's question:
Baby is 45 days old. It was found to have omphalitis during the check-up. I don't know if it will be okay. I went to get the vaccination and took omphalitis powder. The doctor said it would take about a week. He also said that the medicine is poisonous and should not be taken. Now I'm very scared. What should I do if the baby has omphalitis?Doctor's answer:
Children's Navel Wind Powder is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation. It contains scorpions, hog's tooth, rhubarb, angelica sinensis, castor oil, cinnabar, artificial calamus, etc. The aforementioned drugs, such as scorpions and cinnabar, are all toxic traditional Chinese herbs. Overdose may also lead to poisoning. According to your description, the baby takes it three times a day. However, it may also cause poisoning. If there is restlessness or rapid breathing, you need to see a doctor immediately. Then, see how the doctor analyzes it.
