My 4 yr old dd has had loads of UTi's over the last few years and in May went on long term AB's. She has had 2 ultrascans that have been normal.
She has sometimes has different symptoms each time (but generally temp, tummy ache, smelly wee, urgency, pain in kidney area).
Its bizarre but every time I took a sample to the gp's it was a UTI, now she is under hosp care I have taken 4 samples in and only 1 has been a UTI. I was sure that the other times she had a UTI. I was even at the point of questioning how they test etc.
I am worrying that a UTI is undetected and it does damage.
We had a hosp appt not so long ago and I told paed that I suspected she had a uti. Her urine was dipsticked and the nurse said it was fine. Wehn I spoke to the paed i empahsised that I wanted the urine anaylsed. It came back negative. Did they just write that dipstick result down?
The paed seemed unconcerned about dd but I just don't think things are right. Not a few days later she fell ill and I took another sampleto hops which was psotive and she was put on a different course of ab's.
DD now keeps complaining of tummy pain and needs to go quickly and dribbles out. I feel like I'm losing faith. She also had a few porblems wiht urgency of going to poo and pooing in her pants. Its like she's lost the ability to sense she needs to go to the loo. I don't think she is constipated because she knocks out some healthy looking poos on a daily basis.
