Newborn, 17 days old, umbilical inflammation, then rapid breathing, 7 times per minute

Patient's question:

Newborn, 17 days old, umbilical inflammation, then rapid breathing over 70 times per minute. Had a CT scan, no issues found in the lungs. Hospitalized for two days, fluids administered, but no improvement.

Doctor's answer:

If the navel becomes inflamed, it is also considered an acute inflammatory infection. When the inflammatory infection indicators are not controlled, breathing may become more rapid. It is still recommended to strengthen anti-inflammatory treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine are not very effective for hernias. If it has not been resolved by the age of 2, it is best to undergo surgical treatment at the hospital's surgical department to achieve the goal of treatment.
