How to Handle a Newborn’s Crying and Enlarged Navel?

If a newborn is crying and their navel looks enlarged, it might be a case of umbilical hernia. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital’s pediatric department for a detailed examination. After diagnosis, the doctor will suggest conservative treatment methods, such as applying special adhesive bandages to the navel area to help the umbilical opening gradually heal and close. If conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, parents can try using an abdominal belt to apply appropriate pressure to the baby’s abdomen for wrapping, which can help alleviate the symptoms of umbilical hernia. Please strictly follow the doctor’s professional advice and treatment plan.
