Patient's question:
My seven-year-old son's foreskin is swollen and red inside, with a small red protruding lump. He took some anti-inflammatory medicine, but it's still there now. Is it because the dosage was too low?The doctor prescribed him to take Ciprofloxacin for the anti-inflammatory treatment.
Is it okay to take this anti-inflammatory medicine now?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it is likely balanoposthitis, or perhaps excessive foreskin. It is best to visit the urology department of a hospital for examination and receive symptomatic treatment. Rest and maintain good hygiene in these days. Keep the external genitalia clean, eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables while reducing spicy foods to aid recovery.As everyone knows, phimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
