Hi, my seven month old son had high fever since last 3 days. His doctor suggested to go for urine test and culture. His report is in and having gram negative bacilli. Would like to know is this a serious report? Or can be under control with antibiotics.
Welcome to the ChatDoctorIt seems that your child is suffering from a gram negative bacterial urinary tract infection. I would recommend you to take a complete course of antibiotics according to the culture and sensitivity pattern of urine. Usually if properly treated witChatDoctorpliance, it will be fine. Also, since this episode has occurred so early in life, the cause and its effects on the urinary system needs to be thoroughly investigated. Ultrasonography PUB should be done soon after the diagnosis of UTI. The MCU is recommended 2-3 weeks later, while the DMS scan is carried out 2-3 months after treatment. Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions, you may contact me. Take care
