Hi Since when does the baby have pus/ discharge from the umbilicus? Usually any form of discharge from the umbilicus has to be seen by a Pediatrician and baby’s state like fever, feeding, alertness have to be assessed. Baby requires antibiotics and this is a completely curable condition, if treatment is not delayed. Kindly consult a Pediatrician as soon as possible.
Next Steps
Watch for danger signs like fever, vomiting, uncontrollable cry.
