Question
Rewrite according to the ask column The baby was just born, and the family is overjoyed. The pregnancy was also a memorable journey. However, due to not taking good care of the baby, we discovered that the baby has umbilical inflammation. I would like to ask, will the baby’s umbilical inflammation recur?
Answer
Rewrite according to the answer column Generally, neonatal umbilical inflammation is not too severe. Cleaning the external area with warm salt water is sufficient. Common neonatal umbilical inflammation may be due to unnoticed bacterial infections. Newborns have lower immunity after birth, which is a good opportunity for viruses to invade. Therefore, all mothers should pay attention to their babies and undergo antibiotic treatment. Avoid over-stimulating the baby and keep the umbilical area dry.
