Question
My newborn has developed umbilical inflammation, and I’m worried it might affect the child’s development and health. How should I handle it?
Answer
To treat neonatal umbilical inflammation, keep the wound dry and avoid normal pressure on the navel. Use iodine alcohol for disinfection every 1-2 hours, which is usually effective. For severe cases, oral antibiotics and intravenous fluid therapy can be administered, even surgical treatment may be necessary.
