Patient's question:
The child's foreskin is swollen and red, and they keep crying in pain when urinating. I'm not entirely clear about this situation. I'm here to learn more. What should I do if the foreskin is swollen and red and the child keeps crying in pain when urinating?Doctor's answer:
You can use warm water or Jieryin liquid to clean your child's penis. After washing, gently wipe the smegma inside the foreskin with a wet cotton swab (cotton swab dipped in warm water) and apply Baidubang externally, especially between the foreskin and the glans. Additionally, take oral anti-inflammatory medication, Cefixime granules, and encourage your child to drink more water for better results! If not, you may have to go to the hospital. If phimosis is present, circumcision surgery may be necessary, followed by further anti-inflammatory treatment!In addition to promptly treating foreskin redness and swelling, patients should maintain a positive attitude towards the illness. Only then can their immunity be boosted and their ability to fight the disease strengthened. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating or cold foods.
