[mumof4]

Guys i need some help here with my lad....he is currently upstairs crying and i dont know what i can do for him till i can get him to the docs tomorrow..I did ring out of hours and Ive been waiting an hour for the docs to call me back but hes out on call.

 

He has pain on urination and he is looking very swollen..ive given him painkillers and got him to lob it in a glass of tepid water.. ..i aint got a bl00dy clue as to what else i can do!..I am at a loss!!..is there anything else i can do for him??..Poor love is sat on his bed bawling with his dangly bits in a glass of water!

 

Now i realise this is nowt car related......but im used to girlie probs..not boy probs!

He may have a urinary infection - it may be something simple like he needs a circumcision - The best bet is to give hime some panadol and get him to the quack asap.

 

Obviously tell him not to worry but he should lay off the girlfriends for a day or two!!!

Need to see a doctor, probably an infection but needs antibiotics at least I would say. Paracetamol is the only thing I can recomend but watch the maximum dose for his age is not exceeded. If you don't get any joy from the duty doctor take him to A&E.

ok..had doc on the phone..hes bringing me some antibiotics as he thinks its a urinary tract infection plus an infection of the foreskin..he had a cicumcision but they didnt take it all off as it was 2 inches long so only took off what they needed to so he could wee properly.

 

Thanks for the replies..hearing him screaming for an hour was really starting to stress me out!

As an update..he has got a urinary tract infection....Doc is going to refer him to be seen at the hosp to see if any more needs to come off as he thinks its gone tight again.Poor little mite has said that there is no way they are going near him with a knife!..bless him.

 

Thanks for the replies peeps.

OUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

maz at wot age did he have the 1st op and wot age is he now?

only just seen this post and hope hes feeling alot better :16: :D only thing i could think for next time(hope not)is maybe put some ice in a cloth and gently apply,if its cold perhaps he wont feel the pain.

He is now 8..had the op......last august i think it was...(time flies)..Had a slight prob when he had the op as the doc nicked the um....end so initially it did take a bit longer to heal than usual as the bandages stuck to the end..All healed now though.

 

Thanks for the tip Gregers.

Poor bugger! My baby boy had something similar when he was around 8 months old and i was told it was balanitis.

 

Hope he is ok soon

[mumof4]

yes he had that..wasnt very nice at all, was one of the reasons why he had a circumcision in the first place...poor wee mite.

 

well the E45 cream seemed to work a treat as hes not complaining anymore and everything looks healed up.
