Patient's question:
The child developed umbilical just a few days after birth. Is this condition very serious? How long will the child need to stay in the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Hello, neonatal umbilical inflammation and purulent umbilical cord are often caused by bacterial infection. Due to the baby's young age, umbilical cord inflammation needs attention, as it is prone to sepsis. Pay attention to the baby's current crying, response, feeding conditions, body temperature, etc.Suggestions:
1. Improve blood routine and blood culture as soon as possible.
2. If the baby is crying, there will be a response. For mild symptoms, actively choose a sensitive antibiotic to control the infection. The course of treatment is about 7-10 days.
3. Feed the baby reasonably and disinfect the umbilical fossa.
Wish your baby a speedy recovery.
