Using Chlorophyllipt to treat the navel of newborns

In order for the navel to heal faster, it is important to properly treat the wound and reduce the risk of infection that can enter the infant's body through the umbilical cord. For this purpose, from the first days of life apply various antiseptics. Among them, it is worth noting "Chlorofillipt", because this drug has its natural origin and practically no contraindications.

The basis for the manufacture of "Chlorophyllipt" is a tropical plant, which is called spherical eucalyptus. Its leaflets contain essential oils, minerals, phytoncides and other valuable compounds that can kill pathogenic microbes. The extract from these leaves is especially effective against staphylococci, even if they already have resistance to antibiotics. This is the first and main plus "Chlorophyllipt" - an antimicrobial effect, which allows not to use chemical drugs that can adversely affect the baby's body.

The positive properties of the drug doctors and mothers include several favorable factors.

1. No staining of the skin. Although the solution has a bright green color, but unlike “Brilliant Green” and other dyes, it does not remain on the skin. This allows you to monitor the state of the wound itself and the skin around the navel in order to react in time when inflammation develops.
2. No discomfort. “Chlorophyllipt” applied to the skin does not cause tingling, burning, or painful sensations, so babies tolerate treatment easily.
3. The possibility of use in other diseases. "Chlorophyllipt" perfectly copes with prickly heat, scratches, abrasions, mosquito bites, pustules and other skin lesions.

Separately, we note the variety of forms of medication. In the treatment of newborns use two forms of the drug - oil and alcohol solutions. In addition to them, there are also sprays and pills, but such tools for children younger than a year are not suitable.

Oil-based product is in demand for treating throat with sore throat and oral cavity during stomatitis.

The scheme of "Chlorofillipt" for the treatment of the umbilical wound is similar to the use of any other antiseptics:

1. After washing your hands and putting your baby on a flat surface, carefully examine the navel. At this stage it is important to determine if there is pus, redness and other changes. If they are present, you should inform the pediatrician.
2. Put some hydrogen peroxide solution in the wound with a pipette, then dry the navel with a cotton pad. Such a tool will soften the crust and show discharge from the navel (if there is blood or pus, foam will appear).
3. After wetting one end of a cotton swab in Chlorofillipt solution, gently grease the wound. Do not be afraid to touch it - if there is no inflammation, the procedure is completely painless.
4. Perform treatment twice a day. Lubricate your navels in the morning during other hygiene procedures and in the evening after bathing.

Like any herbal medicine, “Chlorophyllipt” can cause an allergic reaction.

As well as the sensitivity test can be carried out with an oil solution, allowing the baby to swallow a few drops of this medication.

Among the minuses, many parents in their reviews mention the higher cost of "Chlorophyllipt" compared with other drugs that can handle the navel of the newborn. By the way, to the analogues "Chlorophyllipt" include "Brilliant green", "Calendula tincture", "Iodine solution", "Potassium permanganate solution", "MiramistinAnd other antiseptics. These tools are used if the baby revealed intolerance to eucalyptus.
