Patient's question:
My child has developed neonatal umbilical inflammation recently, and I'm very worried it might worsen and affect their development and health. I would like to consult on how to handle neonatal umbilical inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Neonatal umbilical infection is a common infectious disease in the neonatal period. Therefore, neonatal umbilical infection should be taken seriously, and if it is found, timely and correct treatment is required. It is recommended to keep the wound dry and avoid normal pressure on the umbilicus. Iodophor alcohol can also be used for disinfection, every 1-2 hours once. It is usually effective. If oral antibiotics and intravenous infusion are effective, surgical treatment can be considered for severe cases.
