POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy3 years agoA. Remove all drainage and clean an inch around the base. If there is a little drainage is present you may be advised to use antibiotic ointment after each cleaning. Pat the area with a clean cloth and allow it to air-dry. Roll your child's diapers down below the belly button (navel) until the infection has healed.
