Patient's question:
The child has developed a serious case of umbilical inflammation. The doctor has recommended hospitalization. Under such circumstances, how many days does it usually take to be discharged? Will this condition have any adverse effects on the child's daily life?Doctor's answer:
Omphalitis is caused by poor healing of the navel, leading to inflammation. The umbilical cord connects the internal organs and intestines. If this condition is not fully treated, it can easily result in infection and inflammation, causing symptoms such as diarrhea and pain. It is essential to follow the doctor's advice for recovery. Only when the recovery is complete can you be discharged. Do not hurry and pay attention to keeping the wound clean and hygienic.
