What Are The Home Remedies For Pain And Swelling In Penis Of A 2 Year Old Child?
Hi, today afternoon quite suddenly my son who is about 20 months old started to complain that his penis was hurting, when I checked it was slightly swollen and red. I am wondering what it could be and if we should see a doctor, or if I can treat him naturally at home? thanks

There are many causes of pain and redness over the penis. I will list a few of them
1. Insect bite
2. Balanoposthitis that is inflammation of the foreskin and glans
3. Inspissated smegma
4. Prepucial abscess
Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination
Take care
