Patient's question:
Doctor, excuse me for a few moments, the baby had a fever last night. Took him/her to the doctor this morning. Got an injection, and the fever went down. Upon careful examination, it was found that the baby has a urinary tract infection, and the white blood cell count seems quite high. Female baby, four months old.Doctor's answer:
For effective treatment of urinary tract infections and to prevent recurrence, it is essential to identify the specific type of pathogenic microorganisms and their drug sensitivity through urine culture. This will then guide the selection of antibiotic therapy. Therefore, the first step should be to undergo urine culture and a thorough urinalysis at a regular hospital's urology department to determine the type of pathogenic microorganisms and their drug sensitivity, followed by continuous treatment with the most sensitive antibiotic for a week. In addition to medication, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain a daily urine output of over 2000ml. This helps to flush the urinary tract, which is also crucial for the treatment of urinary tract infections.
