Yes. To rule out any abnormality from birth. And scan after 4 to 6 mnths to see if there's injury to kidney.
Next Steps
If there's pain while passing urine after 9 days of antibiotics, a change of antibiotic may be required
Health Tips
If no abnormality found, he should have enough water, avoid constipation to avoid recurrence
