Newborn umbilical cord care must be done properly, otherwise it will easily become inflamed

Question 1: My baby’s umbilical cord fell off at 12 days old, and it looked like this after it fell off. What’s going on? What should I do? Dr. Xu Lijuan answered: The root of the umbilical cord is inflamed. It is considered that the umbilical cord has fallen off for a long time. It may also be caused by inadequate care. Currently, it is necessary to use iodophor for disinfection to thoroughly disinfect the root of the navel. Disinfect areas that cannot be seen and then let them dry naturally. Apply erythromycin ointment twice a day. Check the effect after three days. If the effect is not good, go to the hospital for treatment. Question 2: My baby is one year old. He had a fever two days ago. The fever went away the next day but his tongue was very red. Is this getting angry? what to do? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: If your baby gets internal heat, you can drink Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid or Jianer Qingjie Liquid. Eat more fruits and vegetables, eat a light diet, and avoid snacks that can cause irritation. Drink 500 ml of milk every day, three meals a day, and pay attention to balanced nutrition. If you sweat a lot in summer, you should also drink more water. Question 3: My baby is almost two years old and can’t speak yet. She doesn\’t learn when she\’s being taught, she only calls her mother when she\’s anxious. I don’t say anything else, I understand everything, but I just don’t speak. Is this normal? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: From your description, it seems that language development is a little behind. In this case, the child can be forced to speak. For example, when drinking milk, you can let your child say \”drink milk.\” If you are unable to train your child yourself, you can go to the Children\’s Rehabilitation Department for language assessment, where there are professional language trainers. About half an hour a day, you can train for half a month and see.
