What Should You Do If a Four-Year-Old Child’s Little Chicken Head Is Red and Swollen, and They Feel Painful While Urinating?

Question

My child is four years old, and their little chicken head is red and swollen. They feel pain while urinating. What should I do?

Answer

The red and swollen little chicken head in a young boy may be caused by an infection or hygiene issues. Parents are advised to pay attention to local hygiene, clean the little chicken head with water, and clean the smegma inside the prepuce. Observe the condition for a few days to a week. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to take the child to a pediatric hospital or a general hospital’s department of surgery for professional assistance.
