<s>[INST] I have noticed a white discharge from my baby boys penis this morning. It is not liquid but more like sticky sugar granules. The penis also seems red on the end. He has been grabbing his crotch lately but he is recovering from chickenpoxs and he often indicated that he needed a change because of the itching. He is 17 months old. [/INST] Hello, White discharge from the penis in a 17-month-old child can be due to urethritis, and urinary tract infection is sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia and Gonorrhea.-However, since the child is very small, the chances of sexually transmitted infection can be easily ruled out. We should investigate the child for urethritis or urinary tract infection.-Kindly do urine for routine microscopy test, and urine culture test.-Give more fluids to a child. An examination by a doctor is also necessary so that we may not miss any important findings. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s>
