Question
If a one-month-old baby gets a purulent lump in the middle of their bottom, what pediatric surgical conditions should be considered? How should one handle this situation?
Answer
According to your description, the baby’s bottom lump has burst and formed a hard lump. It is suggested that you can try using Baidubang (a brand of ointment). It has been reported to work well. For parents, it is important not to overreact in such situations. It is advisable to take the child to a top-tier hospital for examination and treatment promptly and follow the doctor’s instructions for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be given to the child’s daily care and health checks.
