Umbilical Infection in Newborns: Apply Yunnan Baiyao to the affected area of the baby's belly button, cover it with gauze and apply an appropriate amount of Yunnan Baiyao.

Enuresis in Children: Take 10 sections (about two inches long) of fresh scallion white and 12 grams of sulfur, grind them into a paste. Apply the medicine paste to the belly button of the child before bedtime, cover it with gauze and secure it. Change the dressing once every two days, and it can be used continuously for about two weeks.

Night Sweats in Children: Take an appropriate amount of gallnut and grind it into a fine powder. Every night before going to bed, take an appropriate amount of the powder, mix it with warm water to form a paste, and apply it to the child's belly button.

Change the dressing once a day, and generally, it takes 3-5 days to see results.

Drooling in Children: Take 9 grams of walnut kernel, 6 grams of plantain seed, and 3 grams of licorice. Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder.
