Question
Does a newborn’s repeated fever at night after bathing and umbilical cord cutting have anything to do with umbilical cord cutting?
Answer
A newborn’s fever after bathing could be due to catching a cold from the cold, and it is not related to umbilical cord cutting. It is recommended to give the baby oral pediatric cold medicine and pay attention to keeping warm and ensuring good indoor ventilation. If the baby’s condition is poor, it should be sent to the hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. Additionally, giving the baby plenty of water and ensuring the baby gets enough rest also helps in recovery.
