Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
* If urine culture show growth of bacreria , your son would need specific antibiotic course suggeated in the test.. thea treating doctor ahpuld be consulted for the prescribtion.
Such compaint can be due to insufficient water intake/ local irritation caused by tight or unfitting-undergarments,trousers.,/itching,unhygiene & local infection /improper cleaning / small opening of foreskin fold.
*Self care-
-antibiotic skin ointment can be applied lightly
to the lesion seen at
urethra.
-proper cleaning/ use of cotton (hogiary) undergarment should be taught .
-Drinking sufficient ( 8-10 glasses in 24 hours ... not after 7 pm to avoid sleep disturbance)of water would helo.
-In case no relief.. local examination woulld help in deciding other treatment. Please consult a surgeon ..
So if there is no relief /recurrance
after antibiotic course (as per doctor's advise ) and personal care pl. take him to a surgen need of circumcission.
Thanks
