What can be done to manage swelling of the penis after a rat bite?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am sorry to hear that your son has been bitten by a rat on his penis. It is important to take immediate action to ensure his well-being. Here is what you can do:

1. First and foremost, clean the wound and the area around the bite with warm water and mild soap to prevent infection.

2. Apply a cold compress or ice pack wrapped in a towel to the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes. This can help reduce swelling and pain.

3. Monitor for signs of infection, and keep an eye on the bite for signs of infection, such as redness, warmth, or pus. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.

4. Consult a doctor, it is important to seek medical attention for your son as soon as possible. A doctor can evaluate the extent of the injury and recommend the appropriate treatment.

In the meantime, try to keep your son as comfortable as possible and monitor his urination to ensure that there are no issues. I hope I have cleared all your doubts.

Thank you.
