We took my 3 year old to out of hours over the weekend because she had a urine infection. She was crying went she went for a wee and the wee smelled strange. I have some ketone strips at home which also test for other stuff too and I checked her urine and it was positive for blood and white blood cells and nitrates.
Out of hours gave her antibiotics which she started Saturday night. We now only have four doses left but her urine is still strong positive for white blood cells - leukocytes - although blood and nitrate is now clear and she’s no longer symptomatic.
They did say they’d send a sample away but when I rang the GP yesterday they said this hadn’t been done but they didn’t seem particularly concerned about getting another one.
Is it normal for leukocytes to hang on a bit? I’m concerned if the infection isn’t completely cleared then it might come back. I’m a bit worried as to why she has this infection and why it isn’t going.
Should I just see what she’s like Saturday and go back to the gp next week if it still hasn’t gone?
