Patient's question:
Just these past couple of mornings, my son has been experiencing unexplained fever when going to bed, and he needs to take some fever-reducing medicine to bring it down. Also, his appetite has become very poor over these last two days, and he looks quite weak, with an extremely pale complexion. Today, I took him for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's hydronephrosis. Is pediatric hydronephrosis serious?Doctor's answer:
Hydronephrosis in children is not serious, so you don't need to worry too much. If a child has hydronephrosis, it is necessary to find the primary disease, such as kidney inflammation or ureteral stone obstruction, which interferes. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital's urology department for inpatient admission and thorough examination. Actively seek the primary disease while suppressing the primary disease. In this way, hydronephrosis can also be suppressed and fully recovered quickly.
