Care measures for neonatal umbilical inflammation
1. The umbilical cord usually falls off 3 to 7 days after the newborn is born. If there is exudate in the umbilical pit after the cord falls off, it should be wiped with an alcohol swab and coated with 2% gentian violet, keeping the umbilical area clean and dry to avoid contamination. 2. Before the umbilical cord falls off, attention should be paid to checking the gauze wrapping the cord for any blood seepage. If there is excessive exudate, it is necessary to re-tie it to stop the bleeding. When the umbilical cord has not fallen off, do not use talcum powder or other foreign substances to irritate it. 3. If redness and swelling of the umbilical ring are observed, along with purulent discharge and a foul smell, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
