Suggest Remedy For Bruise And Swelling In Penis Due To Injury
hi, my little 6 yr old falled over some big rocks in our garden and hit his penis badly, fortunetely there is no damage to his scrotum but the penis has an ugly bruise and is very swollen, probably a 140% of its normal size. I am treating him with warm water with lots of chammomille tea in it. some pediatric naproxen and paracetamol. we would like to know what else can be done. I have not been able to contact his pediatrist as it is Sunday. We would appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

Hi dear,
Since the swelling is very big, it is better to see your doctor, as a large hematoma may need to be drained to avoid disfigurement or secondary infection. Meanwhile, you can continue analgesics and apply some antibiotic creams over the bruise. Avoid massaging. Ice pack application can also be done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
