Hello
Thanks for query .
The hydronephrosis on left side that your son has is likely due to one of the following two conditions
1) Congenital Primary Vesico Ureteral Reflux .
2) Congenital PUJ .(Pelvi Ureteric Junction).obstruction.

Normally it gets resolved within 2-3 years as the child grows .

The only confirmative test is to do Intra Venous Pyelography and Micturating Cysto Urothrogram .

You need to give him small doses of prophylactic antibiotics like Nitrofurantoin as per advise of Pediatrician for a period of 3 years ..

Get his urine test (Routine )done at frequent intervals of every three months.
