Patient's question:
In the morning, while holding the baby, I accidentally touched the baby's penis, and the baby said it felt a little painful. After the baby fell asleep, I noticed that the penis was slightly swollen and red.What kind of help is needed: What kind of medicine should be applied? Should I take the baby to the hospital for a check-up?
Doctor's answer:
Considering the child's condition, it might be due to some inflammation. It is recommended to drink more water and plain boiled water. Use warm boiled water to gently clean the area and carefully observe. You can also take Cefixime. The child's condition still needs to be examined by a doctor at the hospital to determine the treatment. If it is due to phimosis, applying a lot of anti-inflammatory medication after cleaning may be sufficient. If it is more severe, oral antibiotics may be required. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Best wishes. The situation is not serious. The above advice is for the question "My baby's little penis is a bit swollen and red." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
