I've ended up taking 8 ibuprofen tablets in just 35 minutes because my hip is really sore and I'm having a hard time walking. Now the pain is spreading to my rib, both at the front and back, and it feels like a sharp, jabbing pain. Should I be worried about taking so many tablets in that short time, or is this kind of pain normal?

Phimosis can be treated with either topical steroids or surgery. Topical steroids (e.g., betamethasone) can help stretch the foreskin, but may require repeated applications. Surgery (circumcision or preputioplasty) provides a more permanent solution. Consult a urologist or a pediatric surgeon in Bangalore to determine the best approach for your case.
