Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi. thank you for posting your question.

The diagnosis of UTI ( urinary tract infection) in any child especially a 4 month old should not be based on merely the presence of whitish discharge in urine and fever. It should be confirmed by getting a urine culture done and only then appropriate treatment initiated. Even if UTI has been confirmed, azithromycin ( zithium o) is not the drug of choice.
Also UTI in a 4 month old child needs to be investigated further in lines of any structural abnormality of the urinary tract. This is usually done by an ultrasound scan, a micturating cystourethrography and a DMSA renal scan.
However your first approach should be to confirm whether it is the UTI that is causing this fever. In the meantime keeping his fever under control by crocin drops should be continued.

If you have any more queries do reply back.
