What medicine should I take to reduce inflammation of my baby's genitals?

Many babies will have red and swollen genitals when they are young because they often wear diapers or other disposable diapers. When mothers see their baby's genitals are red and swollen, they will be very worried, fearing that it will affect the growth of the baby's genitals, so they will give the children some medicine quickly. In fact, the redness and swelling of the genitals may be caused by the baby's urethritis. So what medicine is better for anti-inflammatory treatment of the baby's redness and swelling of the genitals?

It is considered to be caused by acute urethritis, which may be caused by pathogens invading the urethral opening and causing acute suppurative inflammation, with symptoms of pus discharge and pain. It may be caused by abnormalities in family members, washing clothes together or contact with children.

Guidance:

At present, the main thing is to take the child to the urology department of the hospital in time, identify the pathogen through pus examination, and then treat it with antibiotics.

The edema of the foreskin is most likely caused by foreskin incarceration. For people with long foreskin and tight foreskin opening, the glans can be exposed or forcibly turned out when the penis is soft, but only a small part of the glans can be exposed when the penis is erect. These people often experience foreskin incarceration during masturbation or sexual intercourse, which obstructs blood circulation and lymphatic return in the glans penis and causes local edema. If this situation is not treated promptly, it can cause worsening of local ischemia of the glans, leading to ulcers, erosion, infection and even necrosis.

If foreskin edema occurs, apply glycerin, eye ointment, etc. to the incarcerated area, pinch and lift the incarcerated area with your fingers, and press the glans with your thumb to help reposition it. After repositioning, wash the glans foreskin with warm water, apply anti-inflammatory ointment, and then go to the hospital for treatment. Circumcision can be performed when edema subsides and there is no local inflammation.

This situation should not be a big problem, it may be caused by infection

Guidance:

In this case, you can first clean the child's area with clean water without using anything else. Simply wash with clean water once or twice a day and then observe how it goes. If there is no improvement after 2-3 days, you can go to the hospital or outpatient clinic to find a doctor to check what's going on. You can also give the child oral anti-inflammatory drugs or apply erythromycin ointment locally for treatment. I hope my answer can help you.
