1% of kids have VUR: A pediatric urologist will put him on prophylactic antibiotics to prevent urinary tract infections & schedule follow-up Voiding Cystourethrograms, which are no fun, but necessary to determine if the grade or severity of the reflux is getting worse or better. Most kids outgrow it, but some require surgery. See http://www.childrenshospital.org/health-topics/conditions/vesicoureteral-reflux-vur.
