Your concern is justifiable.
Your son has VUR which can in the long run damage the kidneys.
You have to get the severity of this disease.
If not very severe it may not progress very rapidly
Prevent urine infection with 1 tab Setran(SS) daily
Follow up with Yearly scans
Consult a Peaditric Urologist & Nephrologist
