Patient's question:
My son is four and a half years old. I've noticed in the past couple of days that he likes to sleep on his stomach and cover his lower body with his hands, rubbing back and forth on the bed. It looks like he's very comfortable this way. Is this precocious puberty? Should I take him to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the child's condition may be due to discomfort symptoms caused by poor local hygiene conditions or other reasons, and it cannot be ruled out that precocious puberty symptoms may also appear. It is recommended to closely monitor the situation. During this period, local disinfection and treatment with disinfectant solutions, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to achieve better therapeutic effects. During this period, a light diet should be maintained, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. If the symptoms do not improve, the child should be sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
