RE:HYDRONEPHROSIS 5 MONTH BABY
Hello, my 5 month old has had 3 urinary tract infections in the last 3 months. Last two were due to ecoli. He is not circumcised and we have not done any tests yet.ocal nephrologist is suggesting dmsa scan and vcug but we are super worried about radiation. Should we start him in low dose anti biotics and wait for a few months and see if he gets another uti when we stop the dosage? Are the anti biotics more harmful than radiation?
