Suggest Remedies For Pain And Redness In Children

Hi, My 3 years old son got a fever at 4am this morning and he just told me that his penis is hurting him, My husband took a look and notice I got a bite by ant, he said it is still hurts and I see that the skin of his penis is red. I already put aquaphor on for him, is there anything else I should do since it is 10pm now. Thanks

Dear parent,
A 3yr old with fever,pain and redness at penis area can give a differential diagnosis of urine tract infection or balanitis.Its better get his urine tested for any infection.Treat the child with topical antibiotics and paracetamol for fever.If the urine routine and culture are suggestive of infection treat him with antibiotics.
