Patient's question:
I have only one son with my husband, and he is currently five years old. However, recently, our son's glans has been a bit inflamed, and we are preparing to take him to the hospital for a check-up. We are very worried. Hello, how should we handle pediatric balanitis?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, if the child has symptoms of balanitis, it is recommended to use physiological saline for cleaning, always maintaining local cleanliness, changing close-fitting clothing frequently, and exposing the clothes to sunlight for disinfection. At the same time, attention should be paid to giving the child anti-inflammatory and infection-fighting medication for symptomatic treatment. While understanding professional treatment, dietary therapy can also be used as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily dietary habits, it is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness and never overeat.
