Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. It seems that your child is suffering from an episode of hematuria most likely due to a urinary tract infection (UTI).
I see such cases in my clinical practice and recommend the following measures:
1. Laboratory investigation including-
-complete blood count with differentials
-S. Creatinine and BUN
- Urine culture and sensitivity
- Ultrasound KUB
- Renal scan after 3 months of the episode if UTI confirmed.
2. Start on antibiotics such as Cefixime, Coamoxiclav , ofloxacin etc depending upon the culture report.

Ranal scan and ultrasound KUB are done to rule out the predisposing underlying pathology for UTI and the injuries secondary to UTI.

Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.

Take care
