Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My baby is ten and a half months old. From birth to now, there have been 4-5 times when the navel has been red and watery. Which department should I go to for children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, there is a high possibility that this situation may be due to inflammation. Generally, such cases require consultation with a surgeon to assess the specific condition. Antibiotics are typically used for treatment, and povidone-iodine can be applied externally for disinfection. Your child is over ten months old, which falls under the category of early childhood. Generally, visiting a pediatric department is sufficient. If the pediatric department cannot provide care, you can go to a general surgery department. Most hospitals have outpatient triage desks where you can seek advice.
