What are the reasons for inflammation and pus discharge from a baby's navel?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has also affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please tell me what causes inflammation and pus discharge from a baby's umbilical cord?

Doctor's answer:

This condition may be an umbilical inflammation. Treatment method: First, clean with hydrogen peroxide, then disinfect with 75% alcohol, and then apply the medication from the norfloxacin capsule to the full navel, securing it with gauze. Children have weaker immune systems, so they are prone to pediatric general surgery issues. For parents, do not panic and should promptly take the child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, ensure regular check-ups for the child and follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment.
