Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query.

Based on your statement I would state that your 10 months old son has congenital bilateral Vesico Uroteric Reflux (V.U.R)which is the common prime cause of getting frequent episodes of UTi .

The treatment depends upon the grade of reflux and it's adverse effect on kidneys .as reveled on test called DMSA scan .

In majority of children this gets resolved spontaneously over a period of 3-5 years .

One has to give prophylactic antibiotics in small doses for 3-4 years to prevent child from getting UTI. and to monitor the status of reflux by doing ultrasound scanning and DMSA scan every six months,
