UTI in Infant
Hi all, my 4mo got UTI.. currently on oral antibiotics .. doc mentioned about US kidney.. & VCUG as their UTI protocol management.. Anyone can share with me more about yr experience? I’m so lost as FTM.

Hi mama, Can understand that you’re probably feeling anxious. No one wants to see their child suffer or go through tests - it’s heartbreaking and my heart goes out to you ❤️ From why I understand VCUG is an x-ray to help the doctors visualise your child’s urinary tract and that it’s minimally invasive. While I haven’t experienced this with any of my children previously, I’d like to suggest that you speak with your doctor. Ask the questions you need to ask - how does the procedure go? Will my child experience any pain? Are there alternatives? Is there a chance of wait and see? Can I try any natural remedies? Ask your questions till you’re confident and satisfied Another way would be to get a second opinion - if your gut tells you the doctor is being a little too invasive and pro- intervention in a sense, seek out the opinion of another instead. Hang in there strong mama, you’ve got this?
