Fever in 5 months old
My baby is 5 months old, he started developing mild fever from 14th night onwards which was ranging between 99.3 to 99.8 f, he already had a urine infection in his early 2 months of age.
So his doctor recommended to do routine and culture test, however in routine few elements are increased like mucus, abscorbic acid and leukocytes and culture is normal ,I have attached the report for reference
Though after giving the sample doctor advised to start the antibiotic cepodem 100 and fever is controlled.
I would like to know the cause.
Please advice

Since your child never had temperature more than 100 f it looks like a self limiting viral fever.
Urine report does not have any evidence of urinary infection

I would say yr baby came out of mild viral or mild form of urinary tract infection . For viral anyhow can't do much but for UTI u shall get repeat urine test at 3 to 4months interval . Just to be on safer side

First of all temp below 100 is not fever. Most probably baby had mild viral or something which would have resolved without antibiotics. Dont worry
