[as such UTI bacteria may also reach the anus [ improper cleaning after bowel movement] and then migrate to urethra and bladder leading to infection] 2. It is advisable to visit your Pediatrician for - Urinalysis & Urine culture to identify the cause or bacteria causing the infection and if the reason is UTI he will prescribe appropriate antibiotic accordingly to resolve the infection, so most important is to encourage to practice healthy bathroom habits, like - teaching her right method of cleaning her private parts. - maintaining proper hygiene. - encourage not to hold back urine and empty the bladder completely. 3. citralka [disodium hydrogen citrate] is a urinary alkalizer to neutralize the excess acid in urine, thereby making the urinary tract alkaline, and can be given to your child in a dose of: 2ml three times a day [after dissolving in water] PS. as it is a prescription drug, prescribed by a qualified physician only so don t start the dosage without consulting with your doctor.
