Patient's question:
The baby just came out, and my family and I are very happy. The journey of carrying the fetus was also a very unforgettable one. However, because I didn't take good care of the baby carefully, I found that the baby has omphalitis. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of newborn omphalitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, umbilical cord inflammation is caused by local moisture and bacterial infection. With active anti-infection treatment, you will recover quickly, so don't worry. It is recommended to use povidone-iodine for disinfection and treatment twice a day if the inflammation is only mild redness. If you have yellowish-white pus, you need to go to the hospital first for cleaning, and then undergo disinfection and treatment. Wishing you good health.
