Fever, Has Typhoid, Urine Infection, Penis Expands Strangely. On Citralka, Corimite. Why Does This Happen?

Hello, My son is now 16 months old. On 26th April 2013, he had fever and we consulted our doctor. He diagnosed him with CRP, typhoid test from blood sample and confirmed he has typhoid. He is now treated for 6 days and the temperature is now stable.

2 weeks back before Doctor has diagnosed him for typhoid, he had some urine infection and fever. He cried with pain while passing urine.... As per Doctors prescription we used Citralka, CORIMITE, GRAMOGIL, CEFIME for 5 days. After that he has no problem with the urine infection or fever.

The main problem or concern is now his foreskin on his penis. He has a thin pinhole on foreskin to pass the urine. We think he has this problem by birth, but not sure. The front foreskin on his penis usually expands like a small bubble while passing urine. We thought its normal because as the baby grows the skin also expands and will be able to pass the urine comfortably. When we expand his foreskin on penis we see some white stuff at the pinhole sometimes. We cleaned it every time after passing urine as per doctor's suggestion. Since 6 days, when he passes urine, the foreskin on his penis expands more. The expansion is now happnening at the foreskin as well as at his right side foreskin. We are really concerned about him for his problem. Doctor suggested for Sunthi or for a temporary widening of the foreskin. He is 16 months old and we are really afraid of that Sunthi operation.

Please suggest any other way of rectifying his problem.
Please advice how much time Sunthi operation takes for a 16 months baby, should he be admitted in hospital, how long we have to stay in the hospital for that operation, how much cost it will be?
