Suggest Remedy For Frequent Urination After UTI
My 6 year old daughter recently had a UTI with blood in the urine, burning when urinating, and needing to urinate frequently. Our doctor prescribed an antibiotic to be taken in one dose only, and the UTI seemed to disappear, only now she seems to need to go more frequently then she used to (sometimes during the night, whereas she never needed to go at night before this). We live in Italy, and the doctor just gave us the antibiotic without any testing. Should I have requested a culture? They are pretty quick here to just give antibiotics as if that is the best (or easiest) cure for everything! Maybe she still has a bit of infection? Or maybe it will take some time for her bladder to return to normal?

Dear Parent,
There is a possibility that your daughter's infection has not been adequately treated. Since your daughter's symptoms have worsened, I suggest that you see a pediatrician who can examine her, order appropriate blood work, urine test , imaging and treat your child accordingly.
