Dd is 27 months. Had pyeloplasty at 3 months, cystoscopy and JJ stent at 6 months and JJ stent removed at 15 months. She was in daily trimethoprim prophylaxis from birth changed to Nitrofuratoin after a uti at 17 months following a vomiting virus. Only other infection was found on the stent after removal though she had no symptoms.
Consultant said if no infections between last appt in oct and next in July then we can stop it as kidney doing well and function is as good as it is likely to be.
Anyway dd now for past week absolutely refusing her nightly Nitrofuratoin. We have tried everything short of pinning her down and holding mouth open. She is just being a toddler and pushing boundaries but my inclination is that as we'll probably stop in July anyway to stop now.
What do you think any kidney experts on here please? Alternatively any good advice re taking meds. We've tried bribery and punishment and cajoling etc. we've gone through phases like this before but she was young enough to force it or syringe it in while asleep unlike now when she forces her mouth shut or makes herself sick.
If relevant - also potty training at moment. Going well and she often holds her wee 4-5 hours even when given opportunity to go hourly. Does this have potential uti implications?
