Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Hello!My child has recently experienced occasional pain during urination. A urine test showed a + for white blood cells and a small amount of discharge. Currently, they are taking Cefixime Granules, and the condition has improved. The urine test is now normal. However, we have noticed a fresh red patch on the glans resembling an ulcer. Should we check other tests, or is it sufficient to continue taking Cefixime Granules? Additionally, my child has developed itchy bumps on their body. Is it okay to take Chlorpheniramine at the same time? Thank you!
Medical history: Last April, my child had a fever due to a urinary tract infection.
Current general condition: Drinking
Doctor's answer:
Inflammation of the glans penis is called balanitis. This condition can be caused by various pathogens, local irritation, and other factors. Balanitis can harm the health of the male reproductive system. If not treated promptly, it can easily lead to conditions such as prostatitis, orchitis, and epididymitis. It can also lead to combined infections, causing significant harm to male reproductive health. It is recommended to consult a department of infectious diseases for a clear diagnosis to facilitate timely and appropriate treatment. Wishing you good health.
