Balanitis

James does not have an UTI, he has Balanitis. That means that the tip of the penis is swollen. Balanitis can appear in uncircumcised boys as a germ can get under the foreskin and cause the swelling. Treatment is to complete the course of antibiotics and more regular nappy changes. Its not that we weren't doing regular changes before, just at the moment it needs to be done hourly. I have to take a urine sample back next Thursday to be tested and to see the Doctor again, just to double check that there is no further infection in the bladder or kidneys.

Oh, and the spots have disappeared.... but we are still in the incubation period.
