but we do keep a close eye and as soon as either of them get a fever the first thing we do is test their wee. If it is shows blood or protein we go straight to the doctors (it never has so far)
Just reading what you posted about testing your kids wee. I asked the paed about doing the same thing so that I wouldn't have to take him to the doc everytime I think he has an infection. He told me that the test strips that hospitals and doctors use are actually not accurate in kids under two years of age and that the urine actually should be sent to the lab to be tested. He said that they can still actually have an infection even if the strip shows nothing. I hope that this info helps you and anyone else. I would hate for someone to not think their child had an infection and it went untreated. I was quite annoyed when he told me this as the hospital uses them all the time :fuming:
He gave me a heap of pathology forms to take a sample in for lab testing if I think Jesse has a UTI. It is amazing the things you find out when you delve deeper. Doctors dont know it all!! ](*,)
