Question
Are discharge, umbilical swelling, and unknown onset time symptoms of an umbilical hernia?
Answer
It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication, use hydrogen peroxide to clean the umbilical area, and apply erythromycin ointment. Avoid dirty water from entering the umbilical area during bathing, and thoroughly clean the area after bathing, but do not rub too vigorously to avoid breaking the wound. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness around the umbilical area is very important, especially after consuming spicy food. If the condition of the umbilical hernia is severe, it is advised to seek medical attention immediately.
