Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
DMSA (dimercaptosuccinic acid) is advised for febrile urinary tract infection for children less than 5 years. It is advised for 3 months after an episode of UTI to rule out renal scarring, till then he has to be on uroprophylaxis like septran. It DMSA is normal, then the drug is to be stopped.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Brindha Dinesh
