Question 1

what causes uti in babies?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: UTI's are caused by germs at any age. In younger patients you would be concerned about abnormalities in the urinary tract and outflow structures that could predispose the kid to UTI's. Simple entrapment of urine flow by a redundant foreskin or knitting of the labia can predispose them ti UTI's.

Question 2

what to do about infant with fever/uti- please help?

Accepted Answer

Cause of UTI: Try and figure out the infection that is causing the urinary tract infection by taking a clean catch urine sample. Once the infection is known, specific therapy aimed at that infection can be started.

Question 3

what would be the correct dosage of amoxicillin for a 9 month 19.6lb infant with uti?
amoxicillian is 400mg/5ml

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends upon the mg/kg dose calculated by the physician. Dosage can be between 45 mg/kg (2.5 ml twice a day) to 90 mg/ kg (5.0 ml twice a day)

Question 4

3 mo infant with bilateral hydronephrosis. severe in left. progressing to moderate in right. uti at 2 wks. what could debris on latest us indicate?

Accepted Answer

Needs close F-up: This infant needs the expertise of pediatric nephrologist and urologist.  Obstructive uropathies, i.e., posterior urethral valve, severe vesicoureteral reflux are among the top list of possibilities.

Question 5

when using them adult wipes u buy in store, is it ok and safe to clean up in side of me with them? will it cause an uti if i do, or something else bad

Accepted Answer

It should be OK: As well as using water with peroxide. Don't do it frequently to avoid irritation or destroying the normal bacteria in your vaginal tract. Take care!

Question 6

Very likely: Overwiping and overwashing, especially with soap, are very common causes of anal itching.

Question 7

i am 13w pregnant.my dr prescribed macro bid and told i have mild uti.but i do not have any symptoms. i am scared.does it cause harm for my baby?

Accepted Answer

Don't be scared: This is standard treatment for pregnancy. The risk of an untreated UTI is far more dangerous to the fetus and yourself than any side effects of the antibiotic. Macrobid is safe in pregnancy.

Question 8

will a grade 4 reflux in a baby cause scarring of kidneys over time even if the baby gets no uti till the reflux is resolved?

Accepted Answer

Kidney reflux: This topic has been addressed recently by pediatric specialist and is changing our current methods of treatment so I would talk to a pediatric nephrologist for current recommendations.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Using soap: May actually be causing or at least contributing to it. It is a highly sensitive area and soap can be irritating.
