How To Cure Bladder Infection?
My daughter was diagnosed with a bladder infection and placed on antibiotics. Further blood work was done but we do not have the results yet. The very next day she broke out with blister like sores on herlower stomach and side. She has been on a new antibiotic but is still in a lot of pain and it is very painful to sit. Should she see a specialist to see what is happening.

Hello dear,
The reason for persistence of bladder infection after treatment can be due to:
1. Inadequate duration of treatment
2. Inappropriate dosage of the medications
3. Inappropriate selection of antibiotics against the causative organism.
4. Improper treatment of underlying cause of the bladder infection.
Under such circumstances, the following corrective measures should be taken:
1. Discuss regarding the adequate duration of treatment with the treating physician.
2. Discuss regarding the proper dosage of medications depending on age and body weight.
3. Culture & sensitivity of the urine to be done for selection of appropriate antibiotic.
4. Additional investigations like X ray KUB (Kidney Ureter & Bladder) and Ultrasound scan of abdomen & pelvis will be helpful in detecting any hidden focus of infection in the Genito urinary tract.
Wishing your daughter a good health.
Take care.
