Why does the child have pain around the belly button?

Pain around the belly button in children is a very common disease. Children are relatively young, and when they have the disease, parents must do a good job of care and health care to avoid the worsening of the disease. So what is the cause of pain around the belly button in children? When a child keeps crying, you must pay attention and take the child to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Let us take a detailed look at the causes of pain around a child's belly button.

1. After the umbilical cord falls off, pink granulation tissue appears in the middle of the navel. The size of the umbilical granuloma is different in different children.

2. Umbilical granuloma can also cause symptoms such as pus discharge and bleeding.

3. When the mother touches it with her finger, the baby will often cry loudly in pain.

When a baby develops umbilical granuloma, the mother should take the baby to the hospital for treatment. When the granulation tissue is still relatively small, the doctor will use silver nitrate solution to disinfect and treat the granulation tissue, and it will heal quickly.

However, if the granulation tissue grows larger, it is necessary to cut off the entire granulation tissue first. The specific operation is: tie the root of the granulation tissue tightly with a thread. Since the blood circulation is cut off, the granulation tissue will fall off by itself after a few days. Afterwards, use silver nitrate solution to disinfect and treat the affected area, and it will heal after a few days.

Umbilical hernia mostly occurs in newborns, and a few babies still have it in their early childhood. An umbilical hernia is caused when the belly button does not close properly, causing part of the intestine to bulge out from the baby's belly button. Generally speaking, premature babies are more likely to develop umbilical hernias than other full-term babies due to their weaker physical development functions.

I hope that the above analysis of the causes of pain around the belly button of children will help parents. I also hope that parents will do a good job in caring for their children, pay more attention to the addition of complementary foods to their children, and eat more foods rich in vitamins. Umbilical hernia is more common in newborns and is also one of the causes of pain around the belly button of children.
