Question
After 15 days of birth, a newborn’s navel area starts to discharge yellowish exudate. Please inquire about the cause and treatment method.
Answer
The yellow discharge from a newborn’s navel may be due to the incomplete healing of the navel. Iodine alcohol can be used to wipe the area for treatment, and there is no need to worry excessively, but it is important to continue observing and seek medical attention promptly.
