What Is The Medication For Treating Yellow Sticky Fluid Coming From Belly Button?

A yellow sticky fluid started to come out of my belly button. It got all swelled up and got worst. The doctor gave me a 10 day course of antibiotics (augmenton). Everything got better. Now after two months, it has started again. Please help me. Thank you

Hi,

I can understand your concern for yellow sticky fluid coming from belly button.

It appears form your query that you have recurrent belly button infection.

You go for blood sugar to rule out diabetes. Additionally go for culture and sensitivity of the pus so that exact course of antibiotic can be given to you.
Do not try to even touch or pinch the area as can cause more aggravation of the problem and spread of the infection.

For time being period you can apply antibiotic cream such as fucidin or mupirocin and take pain killer tablets such diclofenac or paracetamol.

Wear cotton clothes and cotton undergarments, take two times bath and stay away form hot and humid climate.

Take care.
