Suggest Treatment For Swelling At Circumcision Site In A Child
My 4yr old son was circumcised a week ago and when we took him to doc today he said he had a bleed during surgery and the swelling is still there. It was quite black and still asymetrical. Doc has given him antibiotics and wants to see him again tomorrow. Worried about him having more surgery???

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having some hematoma following circumcision producing swelling.
Due to collection of blood at the site infection is very likely so doctor prescribed antibiotic medicine.
Continue with medicine and gradually it will be absorbed.
Go for regular dressing at thew site.
There might not require any surgery.
Ok and take care.
