Hello. I just read through your question. Though I truly admire your and respect your desire to treat with natural remedies, it is apparent that the bacteria in your daughter's urine is still there. The longer the bacteria remain there, the more risk there is to her kidneys. Therefore, I recommend you consult with your doctor and have her treated with antibiotic.
