I went to change dS nappy earlier and to my horror I discovered his willy was all red and swollen... Any advice? Emergency or wait Tuesday?

maybe ballinatus (sp), call out of hours docs and get seen - if it is this anti-b's probably needed to sort it out.

I don't have DSs but I would say emergency GP at the absolute minimum.

Friends son had red swollen penis and was on antibiotics straight away.

balanitis

My DS has had that (but was never given a name for it). We were given some cream and it cleared up after just a couple of applications.
But it was ONLY the head that was swollen in my son's case, both times.
Is it the whole penis?

Def out of hrs GP tomorrow. Good luck and do keep us informed.
