Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your daughter gets UTI repeatedly which subsides after taking antibiotics and recurs again after some time.
Considering her age and repeated episodes of UTI she gets I would suggest you to consult qualified Urologist and get following tests done to rule out a condition called as Vesico Ureteric Reflux ( VUR) which is one of the cause of getting repeated UTI in girls.
1) Urine Culture 2)Intraavenous Pyelography ( IVP)
3)Micturiting Cysto urethrogram (MCU)
