Answers
For a one-and-a-half-year-old with a swollen glans, treatment can include antifungal and antibiotic ointments, or oral antibiotics. Additionally, the affected area can be cleaned with boracic acid water or Rivanol solution, and it’s important to keep the area clean. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding spicy and irritating foods is also recommended. If a child has a granuloma around the umbilicus, proper care should be taken to keep it dry and use iodine tincture for appropriate disinfection. If the granuloma tissue grows excessively, surgical treatment may be necessary. Diet should be kept light, and it may be necessary to check if surgery is required.
