Urine infections in infants

2021-09-29 17:29:24
My baby boy is of 1month and 10 days old. He is on formula feed now, taking very less breast milk as I faced lactation problem in the initial days. Few days back, we saw him crying desperately while passing urine and the urine also smelled bad. This continues till now. We had consulted the local pediatrician for this and he said it's is quiet normal for infants to have UTI and this should not be a matter of concern. However, to confirm we conducted Urine R/M and Culture test. This shows that the he has infection. I have attached the copy of the reports. Can you please review and advise if we should start giving some antibiotics to treat the infection.
