How to care for a child after circumcision

Patient's question:

Last week, I went to the hospital to visit my nephew. He had a circumcision surgery last Tuesday. During our conversation, I asked his mother about his condition. She said that after the surgery, he didn't cry or fuss. He only felt a little pain when he urinated right after the surgery, but otherwise, he was fine. He stayed in the hospital for a few days for IV fluids and now takes some anti-inflammatory medication every day. He's back to being lively and active.
What kind of help do you need:
How should a child be cared for after a circumcision, and what medication should they take?

Doctor's answer:

Therefore, hidden penis must be corrected within a certain age range (3-5 years).
Survival care: If the child is not yet in the developmental stage, early use of hormones can be beneficial for future growth and development, promoting the early onset of secondary sexual characteristics and early bone ossification. It will not affect future survival or fertility. Pay attention to the child's hygiene, frequently rinse with clean water, gently lift during cleaning, and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
I hope my explanation is helpful. After surgery, wear loose underwear and rest in bed for 3-4 days. Avoid prolonged standing or sitting.
