I'm sure this happened to someone else on here - did it turn out to be balanitis or something?

poor ds3

WigWamBam · 16/11/2005 18:11

Don't bother waiting for the doctor - get him to A&E.

starlover · 16/11/2005 18:11

infection! take him to a&e

doormat · 16/11/2005 18:12

take him up to a&e
hope he is ok

sunchowder · 16/11/2005 18:12

OMG Coddy, I would go to the emergency room too (A&E as you call it). Can you make him comfortable with a cool or warm cotton while you wait?

SleepyJess · 16/11/2005 18:12

Yes balanitis. Painful.. needs antibiotics.. but not usually an emergency. Repeated bouts usually mean a circumciusion. DS1 (now 13) had it done at 3.

LIZS · 16/11/2005 18:12

Sounds nasty -do you have a drop-in centre or a a and e close by ?

foxinsocks · 16/11/2005 18:14

yes I think doc should be able to give you antibiotics if it is that

sunchowder · 16/11/2005 19:17

Coddy, please let us know that he is alright.

Poor little chap.

(His foreskin shouldn't retract yet anyway AFAIK so don't worry about that)

Ok then, at least you have got the medicine. I don't believe the foreskin should retract yet either--the doctor will know best on this. This is why the foreskin is cut to avoid these sorts of things. I hope he is feeling better soon Coddy. What a scare.

skinnycow · 16/11/2005 20:21

glad to hear he's ok coddy.

sunchowder · 16/11/2005 20:23

Of course I had to do a search on google immediately after you said that. At work no less.
