Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, I feel very uncomfortable downstairs, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. How many courses of treatment are needed for a baby's urinary tract infection?Doctor's answer:
If a child has a urinary tract infection (UTI) that is acute, it is generally recommended to drink plenty of water, maintain dryness and cleanliness of the external genitalia, and avoid consuming fish, shrimp, spicy, or other irritating foods. Oral cephalosporin drugs can be taken. The treatment course typically lasts about three to five days, with severe cases possibly extending to around one week. If the UTI recurs frequently, at least two to three treatment courses are needed. The key is to identify the underlying cause, which may be due to urinary tract abnormalities or poor hygiene. It is also important to be mindful of glomerulonephritis.
