    Redness and swelling of glans and foreskin in children can be treated by washing with warm water, applying topical drugs, adjusting diet, avoiding friction, and seeking medical attention in time. Redness and swelling of the glans foreskin are usually caused by local infection, allergic reaction, excessive foreskin, poor hygiene, traumatic stimulation and other reasons.

    1. Wash with warm water

    Use warm water at 35-38℃ to gently wash the affected area 1-2 times a day, avoiding irritation with soap or shower gel. After washing, keep the area dry and choose pure cotton breathable underwear. This method is suitable for mild redness and no discharge, and can help remove surface dirt and promote blood circulation. If there is no improvement or white discharge appears after 3 days of cleaning, fungal infection should be considered.

    2. External medicines

    Under the guidance of a doctor, antibiotic ointments such as erythromycin ointment and mupirocin ointment can be used to treat bacterial infections, or bifonazole cream can be used to treat fungal infections. Clean and dry the affected area before using the medication, and avoid wearing a diaper immediately after applying a thin layer of medication. Parents should pay attention to observe whether adverse reactions such as skin desquamation and worsening of itching occur after taking the medication. Children who do not take the medication for more than 1 week and do not see effects need to be followed up for follow-up.

    3. Adjust your diet

    Reduce the intake of high-sugar foods such as cakes and juices, and increase foods rich in vitamin C such as kiwi fruit and broccoli. Children with allergies should avoid allergenic foods such as eggs and seafood. Drink enough water to keep your urine dilute and avoid irritating the mucous membranes due to concentrated urine. Dietary adjustments can help reduce the inflammatory response, and combined with treatment, the redness and swelling can be reduced faster.

    4. Avoid friction

    Choose loose cotton underwear to reduce local friction, and sleep without underwear temporarily at night to maintain ventilation. Prevent children from scratching the affected area. If necessary, trim nails or wear cotton gloves. Change sweaty clothes promptly after strenuous exercise, and rinse with clean water immediately after swimming. Repeated friction will aggravate mucosal damage and prolong recovery time.

    5. Seek medical treatment promptly

    When suppuration, fever, or painful urination occurs, a pediatrician or urology department is required to rule out phimosis, urinary tract infection, etc. Doctors may prescribe oral antibiotics such as cefaclor dry suspension and azithromycin granules depending on the situation. Severe phimosis requires circumcision. Parents are not allowed to use hormone ointments or folk prescriptions on their own. Delayed treatment may cause complications such as urethral stricture.

    Pay attention to the cleanliness of children's perineum on a daily basis. When bathing, gently turn the foreskin over but avoid forcibly turning it up. Choose unscented baby wipes and wipe from front to back after a bowel movement. Change diapers or underwear regularly and avoid using alkaline detergents to wash clothes. Observe the frequency of urination and changes in urine color, record any abnormalities promptly and notify the doctor. Maintaining a regular schedule and moderate exercise can help strengthen immunity and prevent the recurrence of infections.
