Aww, poor little fella!! I've always been prone to UTIs myself, have had them regularly ever since childhood, so I know what he's going through! Pop into the chemist and grab a pack of Ural sachets, when you're that age you'll ignore the foul taste because it's fizzy, and therefore fun
If you can get him to, also give cranberry juice a try - obviously make sure it's actual juice and not the cranberry-flavoured sugar in water that a lot of brands come out with... I think that Ocean Spray or whatever it's called brand is the one I used to drink?
Definitely keep up with as much water as his little belly can stomach, but I know in my case I always needed an extra little boost to neutralise the infection, and Ural and cranberry juice always worked a charm. Good luck!!
I was just going to suggest the ocean spray cran juice too, Gothmum!
I have a glass every morning and night (besides water that's all I drink!) as I'm prone to thrush and apparently that and UTI can sometimes go hand in hand cos of the whole bacteria thing.
It's great as a prevention, apparently it makes the walls of your urethra and bladder all slimey so no nasties can cling to it.
If it's to strong for him you can dilute it a little with some water too. Poor bugger, hope he's ok soon! xx
my son had heaps when he started school as well
its a novelity of the urinal thingy, not empyting properly as they are in a rush to go out and play, and not drinking enough water at school
defintaley cranberry juice, some Yakult and some ural will help!!!
my DS had 8 of them at the start of prep- but he also has a medical condtion that makes him prone to them as well!!! We had only had a couple of them before starting school!
Thanks girls, I will get some ocean spray when I go to the supermarket later today and we will do a proper 'inspection' tonight incase there is something else there troubling him.
