Patient's question:
Recently, my child has had some diarrhea. I want to apply an umbilical patch for him. How big should it be? Do I need to go to the hospital? How long does the treatment take? Please help me.Doctor's answer:
Navel patches are generally suitable for children under the age of 12. As long as the navel is intact, it can be applied. In other words, infants whose umbilical cord has already healed can use navel patches. However, for newborn babies, whose skin is very delicate, if the mother is still concerned, she can cut off the surrounding adhesive tape when using the navel patch and only leave the medicinal part, then wrap the navel with gauze.
