my 2 year old son was circumcised when 1 mth old and now he is 2 years old.i noticed a sort of cut while changing his diaper and went to the dr. the dr said the skin has reattatced itself and is now tearing and then he released the skin by tearing with hands which was extremely painful for child .he has been given an antibiotic cream but cries pitifully when i applied it once.i cannot bear his cries and pain and want to know when this will be over and is there some way or another medicine to reduce his pain and nightmare
Hi, thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Sorry that your son had to go through such pain, usually we do simple procedures in kids with local anesthetic. Right now you give any paracetamol or ibuprofen suspension to your child, dosage is according to his weight, it will reduce his pain and tenderness. You can use them for another two to three days till the inflammation comes down and as the pain comes down with the paracetamol he will let you apply the local antibiotic cream also, good luck and take care. Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.  Chat Doctor.
