Suggest Treatment For Infection In Navel
Question: Hello Dr. My name is xxxxxxxxxxx, From last few days some kind of fluid is comming out from mah belly.
Brief Answer:
Suggestive of infection
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi & Welcome.
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I have gone through your query and as per your complain it seems that you have some sort of infection in the belly button (umbilicus) or it can also be due to accumulation of moisture and water in that area and also bacterial growth.
Had I been your treating doctor I would have advised you a short course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole and to clean the area with an antiseptic solution like Betadine cream or liquid.
Beside medications:
1. Keep the area dry & clean and do not let water and moisture to accumulate
2. You can use a small piece of cotton or gauze and clean the belly button with it by dipping in antiseptic solution even when infection is not present to prevent infection.
Hope the suggestions given above would be useful in getting rid of the suspected infection.
