I have a question pertaining to my god daughter. She is 5 years old and was seen in ER for what would appear to be urinary tract infection... Blood in urine, severe pain, constant inability to control blather (incontinence)... They completed a culture and it came back that she had blood in her urine and white blood cells but there were no signs of bacteria. They began her on antibiotics. This has been her fourth one in the course of about a year. Same symptoms, same diagnosis, same treatment. What other things should her mom be concerned with... She, we all, are very worried.
Greetings. See this is a condition to be very concerned of... Recurrent UTI in a child less than 5 years age is very concerning. You should check whether she has a habit of handling her private parts. If so guide her no to do that. Recurrent UTI occurs in child Chat Doctor.  It is absolutely necessary to rule them out by doing an ultrasonography PUB which is abnormal then a DMS scan and MCU.the child should be on prophylactic antibiotics to prevent kidney damage.
