Question
What could be causing the red and swollen scrotum of a one-and-a-half-year-old baby?
Answer
Based on your description, the child’s condition should be considered for the possibility of hydrocele or testicular hernia, with hydrocele being more likely. Since the local doctor has already examined the child and deemed it not serious, it is suggested to observe the situation and wait until the child grows older. Be mindful to avoid letting the child cry excessively. However, one should not overcompensate and spoil the child’s character in the process.
