Patient's Query
Helo doctor,
My penis is swollen in the front part with itching and irritation from yesterday. I was trying to check online, it says maybe it is balanitis, not sure though. Please guide what needs to be done? I am currently on medications for high BP and uric acid.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is very likely to be balanitis with the background of acute infection and swelling. You can take tablet CISMA DT (Cefpodoxime) 200 mg twice a day, tablet NISE (Nimesulide) 100 mg twice a day, Tube Dermiford (for local application) twice a day. Take all these medicines for seven days. Review in a week if not resolved.
Check your HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) levels and send reports.
Are you sexually active? If yes, is your partner having white discharge? If so, your partner also needs treatment to prevent balanitis.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
Yes, I and my wife are sexually active right now, and she is saying that she is having slight white discharge and itching. Kindly suggest.
Also, I just wanted to reconfirm, as per our knowledge and various social media platforms, NISE tablet is not good for health, do we continue with the same?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
Ask her to use Itraconazole powder and tablet Cisma DT (Cefpodoxime) 200 twice a day for seven days.
Many people use NISE tablet lifelong for pain. When used as an anti-inflammatory agent for swelling (NISE - Nimesulide 100) it is not harmful if used in advised dose and duration. You can use Calpol 500 mg thrice a day, but the same level of anti-inflammatory action might not be there.
