As I see it the child already has a USG and a MCU done revealing Bil.Grade V vesicoureteric reflux. A DMSA needs to be done which is not done in the acute phase as the child is having fever most probably due to UTI that needs to be treated.Also stay in touch with a Pediatric Surgeon .

Hi!
The scan you are talking about is DMSA scan
It's not done immediately after diagnosis... ideally after 2-3 months of diagnosis.
So no need to that now
Next Steps
But needs regular follow up
definitely consult a Paediatric surgeon
