I'm sure this happened to someone else on here - did it turn out to be balanitis or something?

Don't bother waiting for the doctor - get him to A&E.

OMG Coddy, I would go to the emergency room too (A&E as you call it). Can you make him comfortable with a cool or warm cotton while you wait?

Yes balanitis. Painful.. needs antibiotics.. but not usually an emergency. Repeated bouts usually mean a circumciusion. DS1 (now 13) had it done at 3.

Poor little chap.

(His foreskin shouldn't retract yet anyway AFAIK so don't worry about that)

Ok then, at least you have got the medicine. I don't believe the foreskin should retract yet either--the doctor will know best on this. This is why the foreskin is cut to avoid these sorts of things. I hope he is feeling better soon Coddy. What a scare.

Of course I had to do a search on google immediately after you said that. At work no less.
