Question
How long does neonatal umbilical inflammation usually take to heal?
Answer
These cases are generally caused by bacterial infections, which can lead to the newborn’s cells reacting to themselves. Generally speaking, using 3% hydrogen peroxide and performing iodine alcohol care by parents and friends can treat the condition. Most neonatal umbilical inflammations have red discharge, and they can heal after 7-10 days of intensive care. Neonatal umbilical inflammation is a common disease in newborns, and the baby should be disinfected with iodine. As a general rule, neonates need 10 to 15 days to recover from this condition, as long as they receive appropriate treatment with antibiotics.
