Patient's question:
The treatment of doll umbilical inflammation is really troublesome. Before the umbilical cord falls off, at this time, the umbilical stump has an infected condition with purulent secretions, and the scab is still slightly connected to the navel. Will baby umbilical inflammation be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Neonatal umbilical is caused by poor care of the newborn's umbilical cord area after birth, leading to infection in the umbilical cord area. Due to the lack of timely, scientific, and effective treatment, it can worsen the symptoms of neonatal umbilical, posing serious harm to the newborn and affecting its healthy growth. If left untreated, the skin around the umbilical cord may become red and swollen, or a local abscess may form. Bacteria and toxins can easily enter the bloodstream through ruptured umbilical vessels, causing bacteremia, which can rapidly develop into sepsis or even septic shock. Delayed rescue efforts can be life-threatening.
