Can i treat a 3-month old uti with macrodantin (nitrofurantoin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No unless prescribed: A 3 month old with a urinary tract infection is something that can be serious and may be treated as an inpatient depending on the infection and if there are undetected anomalies with the urinary tract itself. Never diagnose it yourself, have thebabu checked asap.
