Patient's question:
My baby is now five days old, and I have already been discharged from the hospital and have returned home. Currently, her navel is turning red and has a foul odor. Could you please tell me the symptoms of umbilical cord inflammation in babies?Doctor's answer:
When your child is born, his navel is red and smells bad. This may be caused by infection and inflammation. If the newborn's navel has not fallen off completely, it should be disinfected and drinking water should be avoided as much as possible. It is now red and very smelly. A pediatric examination is needed at the hospital. Severe umbilical cord infection and inflammation can lead to sepsis. Pay attention to the child's daily hygiene, bathe frequently, change clothes often, and thoroughly disinfect.
