What should I do if my newborn's belly button becomes festering?

The belly button is a very special part of our body. I believe many friends have been curious about this part. The belly button is also a very important organ in our body, especially for children. So what should we do if a newborn baby has pus in his belly button? Do you parents understand this question? Does anyone know how to deal with this? To help everyone understand this more, let’s take a look at what the experts say below.

Baby, this is caused by inflammation of the newborn's umbilical cord. You need to pay attention to it and don't take it lightly.

It is recommended that you disinfect with hydrogen peroxide and then with alcohol iodine, and then bandage it. Change the medicine once a day, and it will be healed in a few days.

It must be inflammation. First wash away the pus with warm water, then disinfect the navel with an alcohol cotton swab. Be sure to wipe it twice, and finally apply some oil. I used to use rubbing alcohol and tea tree oil. Applying tea tree oil before and after bathing can effectively protect your belly button.

If there is only redness and swelling or secretion, you can first disinfect it with iodine and then deiodine it with alcohol. When disinfecting, be sure not to just wipe the surface of the umbilical cord, but wipe the inside clean and disinfect it thoroughly. If there is obvious redness and swelling around the navel, the umbilical cord falls off with purulent secretions, accompanied by jaundice or worsening jaundice, and the baby's temperature exceeds 37.5 degrees, you need to take your baby to see a doctor. If not treated in time, it can cause neonatal sepsis.

It is recommended that you give your child an injection and change the dressing on time. Do not change the dressing at home to avoid causing navel infection. It is best to take your child to the pediatric surgery department of the hospital to change the dressing.

After reading the above introductions from relevant experts, I believe that all parents must have a clearer understanding of what to do if the newborn's belly button becomes purulent. In view of this, everyone must learn more about the child's relevant knowledge and learn more about the possible diseases that the child may have. This will help prevent the child's diseases better and make timely and correct treatment when the disease occurs.
