Patient's question:
A few days ago, it had already started. One morning, while my son was urinating, he cried out in pain. I looked at the area, and it was swollen and red. At that moment, I immediately took him to the hospital. The doctor said he had some inflammation and prescribed some medicine for me to help him retract his foreskin and spray it. However, it didn't seem to have much effect.What kind of assistance is needed: How should one treat a child who feels pain while urinating?
Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria (rarely by fungi, protozoa, or viruses) directly attacking the urinary system. It is important to maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia. Urinary tract infections often have certain triggers, so it is necessary to carefully examine the patient for conditions such as urinary tract stones, kidney or ureteral malformations, etc. In addition to medication, drinking plenty of water is also important, as it helps to flush out the urinary tract, which is crucial for treating urinary tract infections. Additionally, attention should be paid to enhancing nutrition and strengthening the body.
