A member asked:
4year old has had an ongoing kidney infection for over a month now and his behaviour and emotional state is awful. is it worth getting him seen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely : If the infection has continued for this long or has not responded to treatment, yes, please seek evaluation and treatment. Symptoms lasting over a month is concerning. An untreated infection can lead to significant long term complications and problems with kidney functioning.
