Suggest Remedy For Bleeding From Belly Button Of Three Weeks Old
hi my name is Rizwan and my son Umar has completed 3 weeks now. The problem is his belly button is still bleeding when i change his diaper each time i see some blood on it, his Dr. has put some alcohal when he was 2 weeks old but it didnt work i heard about mustard oil but i am little bit confused that weather i should apply it or not as little ones are too sensitive help me please suggest me what to do and one more thing i need to discuss that is it possible that it is not recovering because my wife after feeding help him to burp in sitting position may be this position put some pressure on belly button, am i right or wrong?
Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
It is likely to be due to non healed umbilical stump or presence of umbilical granuloma. It is no way related to burping technique and pressure on belly. I would suggest you to consult Pediatric Surgeon for further management.
