When inflammation occurs in phimosis, the following measures should be taken: 1. Local hygiene: Soak and clean the penis locally with boric acid solution or potassium permanganate solution to ensure cleanliness and reduce bacterial growth. 2. Medication treatment: According to a doctor's advice, administer antibiotics orally or intravenously, such as penicillin or cephalosporin drugs, to control and alleviate the inflammation. 3. Pay attention to lifestyle habits: During the recovery period, maintain a light and nutritionally balanced diet, and avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods. 4. Surgical treatment: If the inflammation recurs frequently or if there is excessive foreskin, circumcision surgery can be chosen for treatment after the inflammation has completely subsided.
