Renal pelvic dilation in my newborn baby

2021-06-04 14:57:36
Dear sir/madam, my newborn male baby of 15 days old is diagnosed as dilated renal pelvis(10mm) and lower ureter(left side). Earlier in 5th month anomoly scan was showing both side dilation( right 8mm, left 11 mm). Now right side is showing normal and left side is still in dilated condition. Please suggest how to proceed with medications. One of the doctor prescribed antibiotics for some days and follow up later, some says it will get over normally after some days. Please suggest next step of treatment..
