The child has a fever and pain around the belly button

Children's bodies are very fragile, so they always have fever and colds. Faced with this situation, many parents have special ways of dealing with it. Physical cooling can make the baby feel comfortable and increase the body's resistance. However, some babies will feel pain around their belly button during a fever. In this case, it should be considered whether there is inflammation. So, what is the reason why children have fever and pain around the belly button?

1. There is dirt in the stomach

Some mothers fail to clean their baby's belly button in time, causing a lot of dirt to accumulate inside. Over time, the babies feel itchy, and they will scratch it with their hands to relieve the itch.

Treatment method: At this time, parents only need to clean the baby's belly button. When adults clean the belly button, they will rub it like picking the nose, but this is absolutely not the way to clean the baby's belly button. Parents should first apply sesame oil on the baby's belly button to soften the black substance, then apply baby soap, wash it with clean water, and then wipe it dry with a cotton swab. Do not use force or pick it to avoid infection. Repeat this two or three times to clean it.

2. Inflammation in the belly button

Many babies pick their belly buttons because they have red and swollen blisters that cause unbearable itching.

Treatment method: At this time, parents should check the baby's belly button to see if there is redness, swelling or blisters. If so, it may be inflammation or eczema that makes the baby feel itchy. In this case, take your baby to see a doctor immediately and cover the navel with a belly band or clothing to prevent the baby from scratching and damaging the navel directly.

3. Just curious

When babies grow up to a certain age, they will have a strong curiosity, especially about their own bodies. Some babies especially like to pick their belly buttons.

How to deal with it: When parents find this situation, they should not scold their children. For younger babies, parents can put a belly band on them to prevent the baby from directly touching the belly button, or use other toys or objects to divert their attention. Older babies already know what is good and what is bad, and parents can explain to their babies the disadvantages of picking their belly buttons, such as causing stomachaches.

At the same time, parents should also dress their babies in appropriate clothes and correct their bad habits little by little. Parents should help their babies cut their nails in time. You should know that babies do not know how to control their own strength and may scratch their belly buttons if they are not careful. At home, parents should also set a good example and not pick their belly buttons in front of their children.
