Suggest Treatment For Urinary Infection
My 2.5 yr old daughter was complaining of pain in her urine area.She also has been recently wetting her pants because I suppose she doesnt want to go to the loo,because of the pain,and she holds and hence wets after a threshold. We got a urine test done, and this was seen - Specific gravity 1.02 Pus cells 2-3/hpf Epithelial cells 3-4/hpf Please suggest what we should be doing?

Hi,
These symptoms are suggestive of uroinfection and this is common in your age and usually is manifested with pain during urination, fever and changes in urination frequency. Also, blood traces may be present in urine which can have odour or colour change. Other common cause are urinary stones. Diagnosis is established by doing urine analysis and urinoculture and after this antibiotic treatment may be started if necessary. If there is negative urine analysis then you should do ultrasound of kidneys to check for stones. You should drink plenty of fluids and take raspberry tea or juice to promote urination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
