What should I do if a newborn has omphalitis?

Patient's question:

Baby is 45 days old and has been diagnosed with omphalitis. I don't know if it's serious. They got a vaccination and took omphalitis medicine. The doctor said it would take about a week, and also mentioned that the medicine is toxic and should not be taken. Now I'm very scared. What should I do if I have omphalitis?

Doctor's answer:

Children's Bezoar Powder is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation containing scorpions, hog's tooth, rhubarb, angelica sinensis, castor oil, cinnabar, and artificial calcareous powder, among others. The aforementioned drugs, such as scorpions and cinnabar, are all toxic traditional Chinese herbs, and excessive use may also lead to poisoning. According to your description, if the baby takes it three times a day, it may also cause poisoning. If there is any discomfort or rapid breathing, you need to see a doctor immediately. Then, let's see how the doctor analyzes it.
