Patient's question:
The child developed umbilical inflammation a few days after birth. Seeing the child suffer so much, my husband and I were extremely heartbroken. We wanted to know what caused the umbilical inflammation and what bacteria causes neonatal umbilical inflammation.Doctor's answer:
Changes caused by navel inflammation can be treated with povidone-iodine solution, followed by ointment therapy. At the same time, it is important to avoid multiple removals of the navel to prevent secondary inflammation and infection. If you have a tumor around your navel, you need to have an ultrasound. It needs to be trained to recognize what bacteria are. It is essential to keep the area around the navel dry and clean. Do not take a bath, and promptly feed the child to avoid reinfection. Treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
