Hi,
You should stop giving him Sporidex as there is no more UTI. Major side effect is that the child would become resistant to it. You should take child to a pediatrician to evaluate whether he needs surgery or not depending on the condition of his kidneys.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
