Hi Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic.
As a dictum any child below 1 year has urine infection proved by urine tests should have proper antibiotics for 7-10 days . Get USG of KUB and also be on prophylaxis by antibiotics till other test like DMSA scan and MCU is done to rule out underlying cause. by 3 weeks and 3 months post infection respectively.
Hope I am clear.
Thanks.
