My 8MO DD has a suspected UTI that is being treated with Trimethoprim since saturday. Both urine samples were inconclusive as they contained skin cells. She is much better today and her temperature is back to normal (phew!).
Because the UTI was not confirmed, she's not been referred to have a scan to make sure her kidneys are ok. Should I be pushing for one?. She was very poorly for about 4 days before starting the trimethoprim and it took another 4 days before we saw any improvement. Don't want to worry unnecessarily but I know UTI's can be serious.
THANKS!
