Umbilical discharge
My baby boy is 3.5 months old and weighs 6.7 kgs. He had an umbilical granuloma after the clamped cord fell. We applied salt and Tbact. The granuloma then disappeared. But the discharge continued. Sonography showed that there was some infection around the umbilicus. To treat the infection he was given augmentin. The umbilicus showed little improvement after augmentin. But on application of Flutivate cream it became absolutely fine. It was dry and just like a normal belly button. It remained like that for a couple of weeks but then again one day we saw a discharge. We have done multiple sonographies, and Urachus, Sinus, VI Duct, collection of pus have been ruled out.
