Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i fully share your anxiety.
Urifast 2 ml,daily at bedtime, is being given, to prevent any further infection(UTI), as your son has Grade 3 VUR (vesico-ureretic reflux),where urine goes back into kidneys, instead of being expelled through penis.
Your son must drink 4-6 glasses fluids daily.
He'll need to have urine routine,culture,and creatinine, checked monthly.
Pain will need examination and an ultrasound scan-KUB,with theese tests.
For an expert opinion,you may send me the reports,as a direct question.
