Significant symptom: Using an antibiotic for this seems inappropriate if there is no evidence for a urinary infection. Such an infection would require extensive investigation beyond an ultrasound, as does this finding. Perhaps you should consult a pediatric urologist.

Meatal stenosis: It is possible he has a small closure at the tip of his penis making it difficult for him to urinate without pain.
