14 Years Old With Viral Fever And Urinary Tract Infection. Will It Get Cured By Antibiotics?
My son is 14 years old.Recently he fell sick with fever . first time the doctore gave him medication considering it viral .Again after 2weeks he again had fever almost 103 degrees.So the doctor took a blood,test and urine test . His hemoglobin was 13 and it was diagnosed as urinary infection. By noe he had two courses od a bit strong anibiotics. It also showed traces of protein in urine . Do we need to worry?
Hello,
I don't think you need to worry since he is already with antibiotics. Hemoglobin of 13 is good and with the use of antibiotics he would be fine. Just give it some few days and you will see how your son is improving. It persist then probably there is a resistant germ somewhere or there is another loci of infection that needs to be investigated. Is malaria common amongs you?
Best wishes
