Another infant uti thread

[mummame]

Little O, Trimethroprim is not the same as Keflex. Trimethroprim is given as a preventative usually in these cases, where Keflex is given when they actually have an infection. I hope you get some good news from the tests if you do decide to go ahead. The good news is most babies do grow out of the reflux by 18 months old and don't require surgery. My little fella was diagnosed at 6 weeks and spent 18 months on trimethroprim and was given the all clear at 18 months of age. All the best

So she did definitely have a uti, and it was resistant to trimethoprim but not to keflex so she she has just finished a course of keflex. Need to do a follow up test again in 5 days. I also have to book her in for an ultrasound now. The gp said something about her needing a mild anaesthetic to get one. Anyone know more about this?

I have also booked her in with a paediatric urology specialist, but can't get in until start of January. But unless she gets another one I don't think there is a rush, plus we will get the results of the ultrasound before that.

On the up side she is so much happier again. Back to her normal happy active self.

My son didn't have an anaesthetic for the ultrasound, but he was only 6 weeks old so probably a lot easier to keep still, that would be the only reason for giving the sedative.
So glad she is feeling better, hopefully she doesn't have any further problems.

DD was older when she had the U/S and no anaesthetic. Good luck!
