My DS1 had an infection a couple of weeks ago. It was his first one and i freaked out a bit when he was telling me it hurt to wee. At that initial stage it was obviously hurting him but his doodle didn't look sore. I had no idea what to do

In the end i called Nurse On Call and after explaining his symptoms she just said that i should get it checked out in the next 24 hours. I was worried we'd be in for a bad night but thankfully he was ok.

The next day it was red and inflamed and it did look sore. We went to the Dr's and he said it was a foreskin infection and that these things can just happen. I was wondering if we'd done something or not done something to cause it!? He was put on a dose of antibiotics and within a few days he was much better.

With a little one it can be a bit trickier to know as they can't verbalise if something is hurting him but you may be able to tell if he is uncomfortable when weeing. Definately get it checked out if it's still the same tomorrow i'd say. Especially with the weekend coming up.

Hope it's all sorted out soon
