Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can I Use Silvercel On A 1month Old Baby Whose Penis Is Infected Due To Circumcision?
I have a health care nurse who comes to my home and uses silvercel on my wound so I know how well it works and how good of a product it is. My son who is 1 month 2 weeks just got circumcised and the site has become infected, we took him to the hospital and they told it was a hematoma, the doctor who did the circumcision said it was an infection and gave him amoxacillon. My question is if it is safe to put a piece of silvercel in a bandage and put it on his penis? as the silvercel pulled out my infection and I would like to be able to do more for my son
Hello user, There are many types of wounds, location of wound, duration of wound depending upon which a surgeon decides with his experience, if it is to be kept open, or use some special dressing like silvercel or simple plain bandage.
You are adviced to strictly follow your surgeons instructions. As the penis of your baby is a soft structure and in case if the bandage got wet by his own urine, then it might become more serious issue. The wound might get infected more severly.
hope my info helped you regards, Dr Hari Om Chandrakar MBBS
