I have a pain in my belly button and when i cleaned it with a q-tip it had a clear thin fluid with a little blood in it. what should i do?

Probably infected: Clean 1-2 times daily with rubbing alcohol on a q tip, dry and put a small amount of antibiotic ointment and it should get better. If not see your doctor be seen sooner if increased pain or fever.
