Patient's question:
Baby is 12 days old, umbilical cord fell off 5 days ago, and alcohol has been used for umbilical disinfection. Today, there was bleeding, so they went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed neonatal umbilical. Today, they received an injection and were observed for three hours, with no bleeding found in the umbilical area. Tomorrow, they need to go to the hospital for another injection.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to explain this to you. I suggest using 75% alcohol to disinfect the navel 3-4 times a day, without the need for other medications. If there is navel inflammation, you can use some anti-inflammatory spray as a supplement. Please ask: Do you need to observe the baby's navel again to check for white discharge, and should you pay attention to the baby's navel for future navel infections, as alcohol disinfection can be used?
