Antibiotics
If your child has regular urinary tract infections (UTIs), your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. These medicines help treat the current infection and can also prevent future ones. Antibiotics kill the bacteria causing the infection and help to make your child feel better.
It’s important to tell your doctor if your child has any signs of a UTI. This can help prevent kidney damage or other problems.
This chapter contains general information about congenital malformations of the urinary tract. If you have any specific questions you should consult your doctor or other professional healthcare provider. No website or leaflet can replace a personal conversation with your doctor.
