Hypospadias in Children: Care Instructions

Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if:

• Your child has a rectal temperature less than 97.5 °F (36.4 °C) or more than 100.4 °F (38 °C). Call if you can't take your child's temperature, but your child seems hot.
• Your child has not urinated at least 2 times in 24 hours or shows signs of needing more fluids, such as strong-smelling urine with a dark yellow color.
• Your child is rarely awake and does not wake up for feedings, is very fussy, or seems too tired or uninterested to eat.
• Your child does not have regular bowel movements.
• Your child cries in an unusual way or for an unusual length of time.
• Your child is fussy or seems to have pain that is not helped by acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).

Watch closely for changes in your child's health, and be sure to contact your doctor if your child has any problems.
