How to Treat Newborn Navel Bleeding and Inflammation with Jaundice

Question

A 15-day-old baby is experiencing navel bleeding and inflammation, accompanied by jaundice. How should it be handled?

Answer

A 15-day-old baby’s navel has developed a skin break, which is typically due to navel inflammation. Immediate external disinfection with iodine tincture should be administered. For cases with high jaundice levels, treatment should be provided, such as taking Yin Qie Huang Granules, and probiotics should be taken in conjunction. For abdominal bloating, a thorough examination is needed to check for the possibility of hernia, and hernia belts should be used for treatment as necessary.
