What should I do if my child's chicken is inflamed?

A child's penis is the same as a man's penis. Since it is called differently in each region, please do not cause misunderstanding. Although penis diseases are common in adult men, some children are also prone to penis diseases. Because many children do not pay attention to their own hygiene, it causes inflammation of the penis. What should I do if a child's chicken is inflamed?

What should you do if your child's penis is inflamed? First take a look to see where the redness is. The most common types of redness are redness of the penis skin and redness of the urethra opening. Both of these indicate that the child is getting hot and damp, which is more common in summer.

If the skin of the penis is red, it is usually located under the penis, next to the testicles. The principle of this redness is similar to diaper rash, which is caused by damp heat. At this time, you should bathe your baby frequently, apply some medicated oil such as diaper cream after bathing, and drink plenty of water. It usually gets better in a day or two.

If the urethral opening is red, let the child drink more water, or some mung bean soup to reduce the heat, and do not use medicine at the urethral opening. If there is no improvement after one day, go to the hospital for examination immediately.

Generally, older children will say where they feel uncomfortable, but younger babies cannot express it. Mothers should observe them closely when they are bathing and changing clothes so as to detect the problem early.

In clinical practice, we call this disease phimosis. In many children, phimosis can cause the inflammation of the foreskin, which can lead to urethral stoma inflammation and redness of the urethral opening. At this time, the child will feel pain when urinating.

Don’t think that this is a minor illness. Many minor illnesses will turn into major illnesses if you do not treat them in time. Many kidney diseases start with these minor illnesses in the early stages. Because you didn't pay enough attention, it developed into a serious illness.

The general treatment for foreskin inflammation in the hospital is, in addition to using the medicines prescribed by the doctor, to take a sitz bath (soak) in potassium permanganate solution every day. Turn it over and clean it. If there is no improvement, you still need to go to the hospital for treatment. After the inflammation subsides, just wash it with clean water every day. When cleaning, turn it over and gently wash off the dirt with soft cotton products. You can also apply erythromycin eye ointment to the urethral opening. This is generally the treatment method of Western medicine.
