Hi
Thanks for posting your query
What I gather from your information is that your child has phimosis
It is tightening of the skin covering the penis
The medicines mentioned are good for controlling infection in urine
If there is ballooning while passing urine he may need circumcision
But usually the surgeon will recommend trying to retract the prepuce using a local anesthetic gel along with an antibiotic cream, if that does not work he may end up in circumcision
One word of caution : if recommended do not stretch the skin hard and cause a tear in it
Hope this helps
Do write back in case of doubts
