Hi thanks for writing to health care magic. From what you described, your kid has mild hydronephrosis. Urinary obstruction should be ruled out if not done already. Trozyd is given in overactive bladder to control frequency of urination. But if your kid has obstruction in the passage of urine, this medicine may be harmful. I would suggest you to consult your physician and confirm with him if other causes like infection or obstruction have been ruled out. I would suggest complete urine examination and culture and voiding cysto urethro gram in such patients before starting frosts. Moreover, there are only few studies regarding its safety in kids and that too above 6 years. Do get a detailed evaluation again. Regards
