Patient's question:
I am 28 years old this year, and my son was born a few days ago. I noticed that he cries every time he urinates, and the crying is very intense. It gets better after urinating for a while. At first, I didn't take it seriously, but later he had a fever and a thorough examination revealed a urinary tract infection in newborns. I want to understand what to do about a urinary tract infection in newborns?Doctor's answer:
A newborn experiences a recurrent urinary tract infection again. In this case, it is necessary to use antibiotic medications to actively provide symptomatic treatment. Symptomatic treatment can be administered through oral medication or intravenous infusion. The treatment course is generally about one week, and in most cases, it can be completely restored to normal. For breastfeeding babies, the mother's diet should be much lighter. The mother should drink more warm water. It is important to pay attention to maintaining sufficient rest during daily life.
