Brief Answer:
Baby is having urinary tract infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Baby is having urinary tract infection. This needs to be treated with antibiotics as ealy as possible. However, other kidney diseases should also be excluded by performing ultrasound, X ray of abdomen/pelvis. Congenital anomalies are a possibility.

Thanks!
