How to treat recurring umbilical hernia in infants?
Answer
When dealing with recurring umbilical hernia in infants, it is essential to focus on the strict disinfection of umbilical cord remnants and maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the newborn’s umbilical cord. If infection occurs, medical treatment should be sought immediately. Usually, treating mild umbilical hernia involves thoroughly wiping the purulent secretions at the center of the umbilical cord with 75% alcohol, once a day until healing.
