After birth, a baby needs a doctor to cut the umbilical cord connecting the baby and the mother. In such a situation, many parents will pay extra attention to the care of the baby's belly button. However, there may be some hazards, such as pus in the baby's umbilical cord. So, what should we do if there is pus in the baby's umbilical cord? Let me tell everyone below.
When there is pus in the umbilical cord of a baby, parents who are away from home should pay attention to disinfecting the baby. Parents who want to disinfect should use iodine swabs to wipe the baby's belly button two to three times a day, which can completely eliminate the virus. When disinfecting the baby, be careful and pay attention to the strength, and do not use too much force.
After a baby's belly button develops suppuration, it is important to disinfect it as soon as possible. If using iodine swabs for disinfection does not have much effect, you can consult a doctor at the hospital on how to handle it. If this symptom is not resolved, it is easy to worsen the condition and cause the baby to develop belly button inflammation.
After cutting the umbilical cord, parents must pay attention to protecting the baby's belly button and never let it get wet, otherwise it is easy to get infected. So when bathing a baby, you can put a belly button sticker on the baby to protect it from external factors, and parents should wear diapers under the baby's navel.
