Does Kidney Infection Cause Frequent Sinus, Throat And Ear Infections?

Hi, my 10 yr old daughter is always sick, she gets strep throat minimum 5 times a year, she has had mono, scarlet fever and now shingles. She also has had 2 kidney infections that required her to go to the hospital and now has scarring on her kidneys. She does also get frequent sinus, throat and ear infections. Is there a reason why she is always getting sick?

Hi,

What I think about from your history is post streptococcal glomerulonephrities,

It presents with sore throat followed by hematuria swelling on face,kidney infections,fever.

You will have take some investigation like,
Sr.creatinine,
Sr.urea,
Throat swab culture and sensitivity,
Urine routine microscopy,

And visit a nephrologist for expert opinion and management.
