Questions on Circumcision care

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Correct Answer is ["B","C"]

According to Mayo Clinic, oral sucrose solution may help reduce crying during minor procedures, but it does not reduce pain signals in the brain or spinal cord. Other methods of pain relief, such as acetaminophen, topical anesthetic cream or a pacifier dipped in sugar water, may be more helpful.
