Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I feel unwell. Sometimes during the day, I feel dizzy, and it affects my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. What should I do about the swollen little chicken?Doctor's answer:
In this case of the child, it is likely that the penis is inflamed. This situation is often caused by the child not understanding how to take care of themselves and scratching their private parts with their hands. Oral antibiotics such as Amoxicillin and Cefixime can be taken to reduce inflammation. Apply Tetracycline ointment or Chlortetracycline ointment to the affected area.If the child develops a fever, and the temperature is below 38.5°C, use warm water to bathe them to lower the temperature, or apply fever reduction patches to their forehead to help cool down. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can use medications like Motrin or Tylenol to reduce the fever.
If the condition persists tomorrow, it is best to take the child to see a doctor. A pediatric surgeon should be consulted for diagnosis, as it may be necessary to administer intravenous fluids in some cases.
