Hello Doctor, My baby is now 6 months he had phimosis (balloning and narrow stream of urine). We had taken him to doctor for thrice and thrice he slightly retracted his foreskin until meatus was shown, my baby s foreskin shown little tear for 3 times and he prescribed ofloxacin antibiotic and clobetasol however we did not use clobetasol. He suggested us to slightly retract the foreskin everyday once while bathing and also to have a circumcision after baby attains 1 year of age. Now for 4th time we have taken again him to the same doctor yesterday due to balloning and narrow stream of urine again the doctor retracted foreskin and prescribed the same antibiotic (ofloxacin) for 4 th time. Can we use the same antibiotic repeatedly? Is there any alternative to this condition? Thanks, Ramya
Hi, It seems that due to pinhole opening of foreskin there might be having balloting while passing urine. If there is no pain while passing urine, nothing to worry. Wait till he becomes one year or more and then go for circumcision operation.Meanwhile make a habit of cleaning of Sega from the glans by gently averting foreskin while giving shower. If there is no infection, do not give antibiotic. There is no harm applying clobetasol cream. Ok and take care.
