Patient's question:
The baby is 25 days old today. The umbilical cord hasn't fallen off. When disinfecting him, I found a black, viscous substance. Is it pus? But he doesn't have a fever or redness or swelling. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the umbilical cord of an infant usually falls off within a week, but it has been 25 days now without falling off. This itself is a problem. After disinfection, it was found to be related to Hua Nong. Although there is no fever, it still needs to be paid attention to as soon as possible. The hospital is responsible for handling it. The wound must be cleaned by a professional doctor. Anti-inflammatory work must be done well, and the child should return to normal as soon as possible. It is too young to express your discomfort. As parents, you must pay attention to your child's physical condition.
