Patient's question:
Doctor, what does it mean when a 6-month-old baby's urine test shows elevated white blood cell and bacterial counts? Is it a urinary tract infection? Currently, they are receiving ceftriaxone. Does the use of diapers have anything to do with the inflammation? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Is it a girl baby? Girls or babies who use diapers are particularly prone to recurring urinary tract infections. Babies have relatively weaker immunity. Especially after six months, babies who are not breastfed lose the antibodies provided by breast milk. Always maintain hygiene in the baby's perineal area. Ensure that the diapers stay dry. You can use some heat-clearing and dampness-dispelling medication for the baby.The above advice is for the question "What's wrong if a 6-month-old baby's urine test shows increased white blood cells and bacterial count?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
