How to effectively prevent redness and swelling of the umbilical chakra

The redness and swelling of the umbilical chakra in newborns may be related to infection, with pain, congestion, and edema in the umbilical fossa or circumumbilical region. There is often a foul-smelling plasma discharge, and on examination the umbilical fossa is moist, swollen and painful around the umbilicus. In severe cases, pus accumulation in the umbilical fossa is accompanied by fever and enlarged lymph nodes in the inguinal region may be present. Occasionally, it may spread around the umbilicus and cause systemic symptoms with deep infection and cellulitis. Redness and swelling of the umbilical chakra in newborns indicates inflammation and must be seen by a doctor immediately. Since the umbilical fossa is slightly wet and has a suitable body temperature, it is a good base for bacteria to grow and multiply. If the umbilicus of a newborn is not strictly disinfected during delivery or if parents do not pay attention during care, it can cause inflammation, bleeding, exudation, pus, and redness of the umbilical chakra. Therefore, the prevention of umbilical cord redness in newborns should be done as follows: 1. Keep the area dry, change diapers regularly, and prevent urine contamination. 2, diligent local change of medicine. Rinse the local skin with 3% hydrogen peroxide 2 to 3 times, then disinfect with tincture of iodine, alcohol deiodine, or use gentian violet 2 to 3 times a day, and pay attention to aseptic operation, so as not to aggravate the infection. 3, if necessary, drainage treatment, systemic application of antibiotics and other treatments.
