Question
The child’s lower body has been red for a few days, painful when urinating, and the pain disappeared after taking anti-inflammatory medication, but the child does not allow touching and says it hurts. What could be the possible causes?
Answer
The child may be experiencing pain due to a urethral infection, which improved after taking anti-inflammatory medication, but the psychological factor is causing resistance to touch. It is recommended to observe for a few days; if there is no improvement, medical attention should be sought promptly to rule out issues such as phimosis. Additionally, it should be noted that the child should not use fluoroquinolone drugs as they may have adverse effects on the child’s urogenital system.
