Hello. Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic. Uti will be treated with appropriate antibiotics after a urine culture sensitivity test. Kindly find out whether your child has any associated proteinuria of nephrotic range. In such cases usually steroids like decadron are given. Kindly confirm the diagnosis from the treating physician to be more clear. In my opinion a urine culture with sensitive antibiotics need to be given. Thanks
