dd2 has very bad urine infection what should i do next?

[cutekids]

took her to docs this morning with a urine sample.was told she has a very bad urine infection as there's visible blood in it.given a course of antibiotics but was told that if no better within 24 hours to go back. all day, she's been playing and running around but - although urine appears to be "clear" again - she's still having pain when "passing". Do i take her back in the morning-dr gave me a red-topped bottle to bring a hospital-sample in if i do bring her back to surgery-or do i see if pain subsides over the next day or two? (obviously, if urine looks reddish brown again i'll take her straight back but not sure what to do about the pain side of it.)

It would reduce the amount of bacteria present but there should be some there. There is a bit on the form that the dr's fill is asking if patient is currently on antibiotic therapy. they simply have to fill in yes.

Take the sample first thing n the morning when the urine is most concentrated before she has her antibiotic and it should give a feiely decent result.

fairly, bloody hell the old fingers are stiff tonight!

thanks chapsmum.go to bed and have a good sleep now, won't you?!
seriously though, thanks for being there.
night night!!!

no problem, any time!

hope your dd is starting to feel better soon.
as chapsmum says, they usually always send a urine sample off to identify the type of bacteria present, this way they can ensure they are treating with the right anti-biotic,dont worry too much about the protein etc in her urine as these are just other indicators of infection.

how are the waterworks cute kids?
