9.5 months old child urinating frequentl

2024-05-23 13:19:30
Hi , My 9.5 months old son has started urinating frequently since yesterday and was having a warmer body than usual at night as well. When I checked the temperature, it was normal but the body was warm. He had pooped 4 5 times yesterday more than usual with a normal semi solid type. Today, I took him to the doctor and the doctor prescribed antibiotic suspension for infection. We started giving him the doses as prescribed. But is there any other reason he is urinating frequently and body warm?? Or when can I expect to get a bacterial infection if it is??

We could suspect urine infection only when the baby is urinating frequently with very little urine amount and when the baby cries everytime he urinates
Next Steps
Before initiating antibiotics it is better to test for urine routine and urine culture

If suspecting urine infection should get urine tested. Can't go just by urinary frequency
Next Steps
It's fever only if temperature recorded. Do take all precautions to minimise errors in recording armpit temperature and check
