Does he need any medication ? We maintain complete hygeine and no constipation is there. Does medication required ? Can we give cotimoxaloe/nitrofurantoin oral to a boy 7 month old ? Or no medication required except being well hydrated. No symptom of infection observed ever.

Hi Based on the symptoms described by you it suggests your child is suffering from Persistent Urinary Tract Infection. The infection has not responded to IV Antibiotics. He will require a longer duration of antibiotics to treat the infection. Please see a Urologist for further evaluation and management. In case of further doubts, please feel free to write back to me.
