Dear sirs, I have a baby boy of 04(four) months old. Some white soft things are seeing during he pee. He has fever also. An antibiotic zithiumO & crocin is prescribed by the physician. Is this antibiotic is correct for such type of UTI ? please reply at the earliest.
Hi. Thank you for posting your question. The diagnosis of UTI (urinary tract infection) in any child especially a 4-month-old should not be based on merely the presence of whitish discharge in urine and fever. It should be confirmed by getting a urine culture done and only then appropriate treatment initiated. Even if UTI has been confirmed, azithromycin (lithium o) is not the Chat Doctor.  Also, UTI in a 4-month-old child needs to be investigated further in lines of any structural abnormality of the urinary tract. This is usually done by an ultrasound scan, a maturating cystourethrography and a DMS renal scan. However, your first approach should be to confirm whether it is the UTI that is causing this fever. In the meantime keeping his fever under control by Cronin
