Infant Having Pyloric Stenosis, Redness Around Nipple With Lump Underneath, Doctor Commented Child Will Grow Out Of It. Possible?

Hello, Took my three month old to the doctor and was told he has pyloric stenosis ...referred me to a specialist but told me that my son would grow out of it, is that possible? Today I noticed redness around his right nipple and there seems to be a little lump underneath. Can you please clarify these things for me? Thank you for your time.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic
Redness around the right nipple and lump suggests infection
It requires antibiotic for 5 days
Congeital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis starts after 3 weeks of birth with projectile vomiting soon after feeding and visible peristalsis and a palpable tumor
once the diagnosis is confirmed the treatment is surgical
if you do not treat upto 3 months there is dehydration and failure to thrive
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
