Question
A one-year-and-eight-month-old baby’s scrotum suddenly turns red and slightly warm. What should parents do?
Answer
This condition may be due to regional humidity and allergies. Parents are advised to take the following measures:
- Apply a compound boric acid ointment or crotamiton cream regionally to achieve anti-inflammatory effects.
- Give the baby oral vitamin C and loratadine tablets, as these medications can help treat allergic symptoms. Parents should continuously monitor the baby’s condition. If the situation does not improve or worsens, they should bring the baby to a doctor as soon as possible.
