How to deal with umbilical infection in newborns when the urachus is not closed?

When a newborn's urachus does not close and an infection develops in the umbilicus, special care and meticulousness are required. Here are some suggestions for handling:

Seek medical attention promptly: First of all, once a newborn’s umbilical cord infection is discovered, seek medical advice and help immediately. Your doctor will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the extent and symptoms of the infection.

Local treatment: Under the guidance of a doctor, local treatment can be performed on the infected area. Use appropriate disinfectants (such as iodophor, hydrogen peroxide solution, etc.) to disinfect the periumbilical skin, and ensure that the disinfectant is used correctly and at the correct concentration. At the same time, keep the navel dry and clean to avoid urine or feces contamination.

Drug treatment: Depending on the infection, the doctor may prescribe appropriate antibiotic drugs (such as amoxicillin granules, roxithromycin granules, cefixime granules, etc.) for treatment. Please be sure to use the medicine correctly according to the doctor's instructions, and pay attention to your baby's reaction and symptom changes.

Observe changes in the condition: During the treatment process, parents should closely observe changes in the baby's condition. If you find that infection symptoms continue to worsen or other abnormalities occur, you should seek medical treatment promptly and inform your doctor.

Daily care: In daily life, parents should also pay attention to the following points: avoid using skin care products or medicines containing chemical ingredients; when bathing the baby, avoid water splashing on the umbilical cord; wear loose and breathable clothes; change and wash frequently Diapers and clothing, etc.

In short, when a newborn's urachus is not closed and the umbilicus is infected, parents should seek medical treatment promptly and follow the doctor's treatment plan. In daily life, it is also very important to strengthen the baby's daily care and observe changes in the condition. Through reasonable treatment and care, the healing and recovery of the baby's umbilicus can be promoted.

The newborn umbilical cord care model is a teaching aid specially used to simulate newborn umbilical cord care operations. This model is usually made of soft PVC material and has a realistic umbilical cord and umbilical structure, which allows medical staff or students to perform umbilical cord ligation, disinfection, nursing and other operations training in simulated situations.
