Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to HCM.
Since its a diagnosed case of urinary tract infection(UTI) and you child is already on a couple of antibiotics and not responding well, I would suggest an immediate ultrasound KUB and urine culture and sensitivity test before any change in antibiotics. Ceftriaxone or cefotaxime are good antibiotics for urinary tract infections.
Also talk to your doctor about followed up tests needed as your son is very young to suffer a UTI. I would recommend an MCU 2-3 weeks later and a DMSA renal scan after 3 months.
In case of any further questions about this, do call back.
I find this answer helpful
