Hi,

There is no risk to the life of the baby, but if this infection is present for the last one month even after giving antibiotics, you need to do some testing like urine culture and sensitivity, ultrasound abdomen and MCU to know the exact cause of the infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
