Tuesday last week my DD woke up with awful smelling urine. It stunk the whole room out -she hadn’t leaked either. I called the doctors and took a sample in. They told me she had high (luctolytes) I think it was called -excuse my spelling this is what it sounded like over the phone! Nurse told me not to worry wasn’t high enough to indicate infection and wee smell could be down to anything.
Anyway the smell got stronger and stronger over the course of 4 days I called back and they said the lab have not been able to grow any bacteria so no infection. Friday night she was up all night arching her back and ‘jumping’ in her sleep. Woke up with a small amount of green type discharge in her nappy and a slight raised temp. Her temperature sits at 36 but it was 37. Called 111 and the OOH GP saw her and said she had blood in her urine dip test.
We was given a prescription of Trimethroprim but we have just got to day 3 and her temperature is still sitting at 37 and she still has slightly off smelling wee. Not as bad as the other day but is this typical for anyone that has had experience with this in their DC?
I called doc and he said just give her 2 days extra dose and not to worry as 37 isn’t a ‘temperature’ even though it’s not her usual body temperature. I’m very concerned that these aren’t going to work. He said they are strong and doesn’t understand why they wouldn’t work and was very dismissive.
Do I need to take her to A&E or just wait and see over the next few days? She’s eating etc but I’m petrified after going on google and her latest urine wasn’t sent to a lab!
Thanks in advance sorry for the essay.
