Patient's question:
I came across an introduction about neonatal umbilical on an app that. The information about neonatal umbilical mentioned there is somewhat vague, so I would like to ask what are the symptoms of neonatal umbilical?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal umbilical is primarily caused by inflammation at the location of the baby's umbilical cord, and it manifests in several aspects:1. Redness at the root of the baby's umbilical cord, or delayed healing of the wound after it falls off, moist or oozing from the umbilical fossa. This is the earliest sign of umbilical cord inflammation.
2. Redness and swelling around the umbilical area, purulent exudate with an odor from the umbilical fossa, worsening redness and swelling around the umbilical area, or the formation of a local abscess, sepsis.
3. In severe cases, it can lead to peritonitis and systemic toxic symptoms. The baby may have fever, poor feeding, lethargy, restlessness, and other signs.
