What should I do if there is some swelling after the infant's circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

Four days after the surgery, the gauze couldn't be removed, so the doctor injected anesthesia at the base of the penis to take it off. 14 hours later, the penis is still swollen and a bit painful. Is this normal? When will it? Does injecting anesthesia at the base of the penis cause harm in the future?

Doctor's answer:

Regarding the swelling of the hand after circumcision surgery, this condition often occurs in many patients and is relatively easy to treat. You can try the following methods. First, you can apply mefenamic acid externally. If it works, persist with it daily. If it doesn't, you can switch to applying Ruyijinhuang powder externally, which is more effective than the first medication.
