I have a child almost 4 years in my care that gets recurring infections in his "member"
The parents have brought him in several times with the infection and swelling. He is fully toilet trained and normally completely independent in the bathroom. The parents are expecting me to apply antibiotic cream to the area and assist him in holding the affected part while he urinates. This is beyond my comfort level given his age. My feeling is that if he can't participate in all aspects of the day, then he should remain home. Parents are home in the summer, so not going to put them in conflict with going to work if he stayed home a few days til the infection clears. Any thoughts if I'm being unrealistic in my expectations? Would you do the cream when it is all swollen/ infected? I'm definitely not holding"it" sorry for the graphic details lol! Please help!!
