Hello, Priyan. Healing after circumcision or circumcision can take between 1-10 days. The healing process of course depends on the circumcision method used, the treatment given, the treatment, and how the food intake is given because all support the healing process. If it's been more than 1 month but still hasn't healed, such as redness, pain and infection, you should check with the doctor who performed circumcision regarding your child's condition. This condition can be caused by:
Secondary infection. Pain that doesn't go away, fluid like pus in the circumcision wound, fever develops in your child. Blood clotting disorders. In this disorder, the bleeding is difficult to stop and the healing process takes a long time. It is advisable to go back to the doctor who performed the circumcision to get a more complete examination and appropriate treatment. Some suggestions that can be done:
Maintain cleanliness by cleaning the wound with rivanol and a dry cloth. Antibiotic ointment can be given if necessary and then covered with sterile dry gauze. avoid cleaning the genitals with products containing chemicals and fragrances Consumption of nutritious and high-protein foods to help the healing process Use loose pants if you feel pain or fever, give medicine for children such as paracetamol or ibuprofen according to the recommended dose Hopefully Helpful
