yes,please seek a medical advise. Your son may be suffering from urinary tract infection. Symptoms include low grade fever, nausea, diarrhoea. Please get blood investigations done and start medication.
Swelling in the head of the penis could be due to bacterial or fungal infection caused by nappy rash.So change the nappies frequently.
