ds1 and ds2 have a urine reflux problem due to a dilated left kidney..ds1 who is nearly 5 has grown out of it..wheras ds2 is only 8 weeks and my consultant has prescribed trimethoprim 0.5ml and reckons he;ll b on that for 3 years!!
i didn't question it at the time, but will that cause any long term side affects?
with ds1 we only gave trimethoprim when he had uti, shud antibiotics b given to a small infant to prevent infection? won't this affect his immune system in any way?
