Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son (age 6) was just diagnosed with a heart murmur, we go for an echocardiogram in two weeks to figure out what kind. He is exposed to second hand smoke at his great grandmothers house about twice a week...can that cause or make a murmur worse? He was born with a murmur that closed by age 6 months...he had never had any murmur issues at any previous well child visits until now.
Hello dear, welcome Ask a doctor's service. I read your query and here is my advice.
I think you should get further evaluated. You should do an urine analysis and uroculture and also an ultrasound of the kidneys. I think you may be suffering from a urinary track infection or kidney infection. You may need antibiotics.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
