What Causes Swelling Under Navel?
My 2 year old daughter has a swelling under her navel. Last time it happened, she complained about her tummy, I didn t know what ,turns out it was a boil and home remedy was applied. Fear is that it happened about 5 months ago and normally is associated with a raised temperature.

Hi,
It can be a boil. Better to consult a dermatologist and start on antibiotics at the earliest to avoid unwanted complications. You can apply topical antibiotics like Mupirocin after cleaning with soap and water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
