Why does a child's belly button smell?

My baby has been suffering from diarrhea for almost a week this year. Sometimes he has diarrhea and fever. He has also eaten less these days and doesn't like to eat. In the past, he ate more. When I was bathing him today, his corns suddenly smelled bad. What's going on? Does the child have any disease? How should it be treated and prevented?

1. If your belly button smells bad, it may be because you did not keep it clean and dry after the umbilical cord was cut after the baby was born, which led to inflammation in the belly button. You can check if there is any redness or swelling. If so, you can wipe it dry with a medical cotton swab and apply a small amount of erythromycin ointment. When taking a bath, remember to wipe it dry with a cotton swab after washing. It's not a big deal. As for the child's cough, fever and poor appetite, it may be a cold or upper respiratory tract inflammation.

2. For example, sweat will start to stink below the skin, and the structure of corns is destined to easily accumulate dirt and be difficult to clean. The sweat in the corns cannot be cleaned by just unconsciously flushing it with water during a shower. In a word, pay attention to cleaning your belly corns so they won't stink.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness around your belly button, because dirty water may remain there when you take a bath, so you should clean it specially after taking a bath, but don't use force, otherwise it may become inflamed if it is broken.

If a child's corns have a bad smell, it does not mean that there is anything wrong with the child, but rather that the area around the corns is not properly maintained. The bad smell caused by the corns does not require treatment. As long as we keep the area around the corns clean, we will no longer smell the bad smell from the corns. Be sure to develop a good habit.
