Question
Does newborn navel detachment lead to diarrhea symptoms?
Answer
After a newborn’s navel falls off, diarrhea may occur, which could be either physiological or due to enteritis. It is recommended to conduct a regular stool test to determine the cause. If not caused by enteritis, it usually belongs to physiological diarrhea, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like Simethicone can be administered. This condition may be caused by indigestion, so it is advised to avoid eating fatty foods and use Baohé Wan for treatment, or roast and peel the seeds of radish and take them in decoction for better results.
