Dear sujit
Hello,the treatment given by your doctor is correct.Please continue with antibiotic and collect urine culture sensitivity report.There may be the need for change of antibiotic as per sensitivity report.We have to give antibiotic for atleast 8 to 10 days .One more advise which i want to give you is go for USG KUB because it is unusual for 5 and half months old male child to get UTI.
