My daughter has been having problems with her bladder for around 1.5 years now. It started with a few UTIs which then resulted in constant dribbling. We were referred to Peadiatrics at the time and she was put on oxybutynin for a diagnosed “twitchy bladder” which seemed to help for a short time in which we were discharged. In the last month however, she has had 4 different urine infections which no let up inbetween, one going into her kidneys. Each urine sample comes back with a different bacteria requiring another form of antibiotic meaning she is now on her fourth course of antibiotics in 4 weeks. She has been urgently referred for a renal scan but that can take 6-8 weeks and in the mean time we just have to keep handing in urine samples and taking the antibiotics.
The doctors at the hospital said it’s highly unusual to see this many different bacteria’s in such quick succession so I guess I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced anything similar and can offer any reassurance or may have any advice on what we can do to help her😔 I feel so helpless.
