hello i am in need of advise my 7 year old daughter has reacurring kidney infections the sample shows ecoli we believe this is happening from ibs with constipation.  So this is her 7th one, the last one put her in hospital for 5 days on iv anti biotics .  this time the dr perscribed bactrum prior to getting the ecoli finding, she was on it for 3 days with sever burning with urination, sever flank pain as well as 103-105 temps that were not easy to control even with meds.  So on the 4th day the st called and said they needed to change her anitbiotic because bactrum has become resistant to ecoli and they put her on cipro 500 2  per day for 7 days ,  these are all gone as today is day 8.  the fever has subsided some what but still sever flank pain and burning with urnination.  She just dosent feel good, she is dizzy and has little appetitite, low energy, and overall just miserable.  Please any advice??Thanks worried  mommma in the NW!
A child with frequent urinary tract infections needs to be seen by a pediatric urologist. This is not a normal thing to happen, and she needs additional testing to determine why she has these infections. I would be very insistent that your daughter be seen immediately by a pediatric urologist. Your daughter may have kidney damage or have a congenital abnormality of the bladder and collecting system.
