Circumcision
Hello doctor, my son is 6 years old. I got his Circumcision done by a surgeon on Monday at 3.30 pm. It has been 4 days since he has had migraine and he is not getting any relief. Sometimes there is problem in urine, sometimes pain, sometimes swelling. We are giving him cefixime 100, urosol syrup and embulgesic syrup but he keeps saying only one thing throughout the day and night that there is burning sensation, there is burning sensation. Dr. please give me advice

Mild pain, swelling and burning can occur for a few days after circumcision, but persistent burning and difficulty passing urine should be assessed properly 👍 Most children recover well with timely review and correct wound care. Please consult the operating surgeon or connect with me for proper evaluation to rule out excess inflammation or infection and guide further management safely.

"While some discomfort and swelling are expected for 48–72 hours after a circumcision, persistent burning sensations and difficulty urinating on Day 4 indicate that the surgical site is likely experiencing significant inflammation or a developing secondary infection. The burning sensation is a clinical sign that the raw tissue is being irritated by urine or is hypersensitive due to the healing process. At this stage, symptomatic management needs to be balanced with a close physical inspection to rule out complications like meatal stenosis or localized cellulitis
Next Steps
Loose Clothing: "Keep him in very loose cotton clothing or allow him to remain without a diaper/underwear for a few hours daily to allow air circulation to the wound."
Hydration: "Ensure he is drinking plenty of water. Diluted urine is less acidic and causes significantly less burning when it passes over the surgical site."
Caution: "Do not try to forcefully pull back any remaining skin or remove surgical scabs, as this will cause bleeding and increase the burning sensation."
Red Flags: "Seek emergency medical care if he is unable to pass urine for more than 8 hours, develops a high fever, or if the swelling and redness begin to spread toward the scrotum or abdomen."
