Question
The baby is 19 days old and cries during her afternoon nap, has a bit of diarrhea, and won’t sleep unless held. There is also a scabbed umbilical cord bleeding issue. Although the doctor said there’s no concern, I’m still worried. I’m asking what should be done, especially whether it’s still okay to use the stomach-soothing and digestion oral liquid when diarrhea occurs, and how to handle the umbilical cord bleeding situation.
Answer
Based on the baby’s symptoms, it may be caused by a bacterial infection leading to enteritis. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination for a definitive diagnosis. It is suggested to visit the hospital’s gastroenterology department for a routine stool examination and determine the treatment plan based on the results. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you. This is the response to the question “The baby is 19 days old and cries during her afternoon nap,” and I hope it helps you and your baby stay healthy!
