The symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are hard to identify. It includes frequent urination, wetting, experiencing pain while passing urine, and signs of fever. Consult your doctor immediately, as soon as you notice these symptoms.
The risk of UTI in children is high due to the following scenarios:
Poor toilet hygiene
Holding urine for a long time
Certain medical conditions - an overactive bladder, vesicoureteral reflux
A family history of UTIs
The Treatment of Urinary Tract Infections in children includes -
Antibiotics - Since most UTIs are bacterial.
Analgesic medication - These medicines help to control fever and pain.
A child should start feeling better within a week after the treatment starts. Remember, completing the entire course of medication is essential for the effective treatment of UTIs. #childhealth
