Question

I'm a bit concerned about my 4-month-old baby. He's up to date with all his vaccinations up to his 16-week mark. Could you let me know which vaccines hell need once he hits 6 months?

Persistent meatus swelling with unusual coloration. Given your treatment history and normal test results (urine routine & culture, ultrasound), consider the following possibilities: 1. _Chronic inflammation_: Prolonged inflammation might be causing the swelling and discoloration. 2. _Vascular anomalies_: Abnormal blood vessels could be contributing to the dark blue color. 3. _Meatus stenosis_: Narrowing of the meatus might be causing swelling and discomfort. Discuss the following with your surgeon: 1. _Biopsy_: To rule out underlying conditions like cancer or granulomas. 2. _Doppler ultrasound_: To evaluate blood flow and potential vascular anomalies. 3. _Alternative treatments_: Consider options like corticosteroid injections or topical creams to reduce inflammation. Seek a second opinion from a urologist if you're not satisfied with your current treatment progress.
