Medical Advice On Tests To Stop Recurring UTI In Infant Child

Hello doctor, my baby girl was treated with Zanocin ( 2.5 ml twice a day) for 5 days at the age of 3 months 1 week. Now she is 5 months & again urine analysis shows 10-15 pus cells. She had her left renal pelvis dilated in ultrasound done at 3 months. What all other tests needs to be done to stop recurring UTI?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
Often, when an anatomic cause for recurrent UTIs is found, the doctor will prescribe a very low dose of antibiotic to be given daily as a way to prevent future UTIs. Then, the hope is that the anatomic cause will become less of a factor as the child grows. I recommend consulting with your doctor about this option.
