Question
My baby is premature, and I have been worried about the child’s condition from the beginning. Recently, the baby has shown a series of symptoms, and I am very worried. I am afraid that the condition might worsen. What is going on if the infant’s umbilical cord has not fallen off yet?
Answer
Hello, your situation now only requires infection prevention. You can apply some dragon’s bile purple or iodine tincture. Maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, and get plenty of sunlight. For newborn illnesses, timely symptomatic treatment should be sought, and parents should provide enough care and attention to the child.
