ok i am a pro at UTI's in boys- DS had about 100 of them in his 10 years- he is chronic with them. Hot, moist conditions are ideal for any bugs to grow, so this weather is when the chances of infection is at its highest. My poor DS has had 2 since xmas allready
things to do
- salt water bath!
-get a cream from the chemist called "Calmoseptine" put a got dob of it right where it is sore- it will not only sooth but also heal and protect it
-if you havent got any cream or cant get any, then put some vaseline on the sore spots- it wont heal it, but it will protect it and stop it for hurting
- get some ural satches and have some of the time- say 4 times a day- especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning
-drink water but not a massive amount- you dont want the kidneys to work harder than they have to. Also they have to the chance to go into spasm if they work to hard and that is when you get into trouble
- make sure he can pee- if he cant- then take him straight to emergency
- notice the colour and if any smell when he urinates- get a sample if you can- it smell really ammonia when there is an infection
-he also could be constipated. If his bowel is full, then it puts pressure on his bladder and can irritate it and cause problems. Constipation can also be the form of soft stools- that is the overflow. So perhaps even something to make sure he is Ok in that dept might help.
hope this info helps and yell out if you need some more advice!
