My grandaughter age 4 1/2 just was diagosed with a UTI....she is on an antibiotic and pyrisium...she took her 1st dose at 2pm of both drugs but she is continuing to have painful urination and passing clots. We cannot get her to drink alot of fluids. Should we take her to the ER for fluids and Iv antibiotics?
It seems she has pyelonephritis; she needs antibiotics as IV for 10 days. I advise to get admitted and get the infection eradicated totally. She may need ultrasound examination of kidneys follows by MCG and radioisotope scan (DMS) later dates.
