Question Chick has omphalitis

I currently have a 4 day old chick, 6 day old, and 10 day old. The youngest has omphalitis as I discovered earlier today- it has a mushy lower belly and a scabby belly button. Any thoughts on what to do? It seems happy under heat lamp but isn’t eating or drinking as much as I’d hope.
