How to treat cystitis in boys

The treatment of cystitis in boys includes antibiotics, symptomatic relief of symptoms, and lifestyle adjustments. Cystitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection and requires timely intervention to prevent the disease from progressing.

1. Antibiotic treatment is the first choice for cystitis, and drugs should be selected according to the pathogen. Common drugs include cephalosporins such as cefaclor, quinolones such as levofloxacin and penicillins such as amoxicillin. The course of treatment is usually 5-7 days. During medication, it is necessary to observe changes in symptoms and avoid stopping the medication on your own.

2. Symptomatic treatment can relieve discomfort. For children with frequent urination, urgency and pain during urination, urinary tract analgesics such as phenolphthalein or antispasmodics such as pinaverium bromide can be used. If accompanied by fever, antipyretic drugs such as acetaminophen can be used appropriately.

3. Lifestyle adjustment can help to recover from the disease and prevent recurrence. It is recommended that children drink more water to dilute urine and promote bacterial excretion; avoid spicy and irritating foods; pay attention to personal hygiene, especially the cleaning of private parts, keep them dry; choose cotton breathable underwear to reduce local irritation.

4. Family care requires special attention to the child's urine volume, urine color and symptom changes. If the symptoms do not improve or low back pain, high fever, etc. occur, seek medical attention in time to rule out serious complications such as pyelonephritis.

The treatment of cystitis in boys requires a combination of medication and lifestyle adjustments. Early intervention can effectively control the condition and avoid complications. Parents need to pay close attention to their children's symptoms, cooperate with doctors to complete treatment when necessary, and pay attention to daily prevention to reduce the risk of recurrence.
