What do you suggest if my son is getting a circumcision on thursday?

Depends on age: If your son is an infant/young child, he will likely tolerate it very well. If older, he may experience more pain. Make sure you have pain medication at home (such as ibuprofen if over 6 months) and ask the doctor to calculate the dose based on his weight. They will likely have you leave a dressing of for a few days - and then coat it with a lubricant until it is fully healed. It heals quickly!
