Brief Answer:
You may give septran for 10 days

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

According to present guidelines, the undescended testes should have been already been operated by now. It seems that there is some obstruction which is preventing the drainage of the urine and the resultant backpressure is causing the megaureter as well as is damaging the kidney(s). In such a case, when septran is given, you should give it for 10 days unless your doctor has any other suggestions.
