Can Rocephin Be Given For Fever With A History Of UTI?
My 5 year old daughter has a history of UTI s...Sunday she had fever 103, wetting accident overnight and next day. I would swear she had another UTI. Urinalysis showed trace white cells in urine, but no bacteria. IV Rocephin and fluids were given due to her clinical representation at ER on Monday...but since the urinalysis didn t look that bad , they didn t send her home with anything. Also her blood came back and her WBC was within normal limits. So Dr. said it was a virus. Her fever subsided Tuesday evening...gone all day yesterday and now today her fever is on the climb again at 101.8. Is it possible it was too early for the labs to detect? Her system has alway been very reactive. I just want to know if I should have her examined again.
As urine culture is negative, few white cells are present in urine and blood report is within normal limits, possibility of another UTI seems unlikely. Give paracetamol or ibuprofen for fever. Continue antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor. Viral fever usually resolves within 3-5 days. If no relief then consult doctor once again.
