Question
What’s the situation with a child’s red and hot glans?
Answer
A child’s red and hot glans could indicate balanitis, an inflammatory reaction of the glans mucosa, which may be caused by various pathogens or regional stimuli. It is advised to maintain personal hygiene, keep the area clean, lead a regular lifestyle, and drink plenty of water. It is recommended to undergo a urine routine examination at a hospital for diagnosis, and medications such as levofloxacin, metronidazole, and Sanjin tablets may be prescribed for treatment. Also, pay attention to personal hygiene to avoid repeated infections. Increase urine volume by drinking more water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods like chives, scallions, garlic, pepper, fresh ginger, as well as warm and spicy foods such as lamb, dog meat, rabbit meat, and greasy foods to prevent exacerbation of the inflammation. Sexual activity is prohibited.
