How To Treat A Pus Filled Navel Of A 43 Days Old Child?
my baby is 43days old n his navel has still not healed though umbilical cord fell on 8th day.there wad slught puss inside on lower half and so according to another pediatrician we r cleaning with salt solution and then applying t.bact ointment on lower lip of navel which is slightly red n salt inside the navel where doctor told granuloma is presents.baby screams in pain when i put salt and not during cleaning of puss..so its really difficult for us to proceed.is there any way to heal the navel in one shot, so that he doesn t have to go through this pain daily as its almost 1 week since we are applying salt?
There is no way that you can heal the navel in one shot. Sometimes, it takes some time to dry off and the presence of pus indicates a condition called umbilical cordsepsis. Applying T-bact ointment is the right things to do. Please be patient and continue applying the ointment. Also keep the child under regular follow up of a pediatrician. Do not put salt.
