Health Query
My son is 1.5 months old. His belly button is swollen and popping out in relax mode also since last 10 days. When he is crying or straining then it is growing large. It is painless. It seems that it is umbilical hernia but it looks odd. Can it be cured? Should we worry about this? Please guide.

Hi lybrate-user
you can try to wrap that area with cloth like abdominal belt daily not very tight and use sm antibiotic powder before wrapping it. Pour few drops of coconut oil on it daily. It can help you. Take care.
