child specialist would first analyze the urine sample of the child.He would
then prescribe certain anti –biotics.Once the child completes the entire course
of antibiotics , the child specialist would again analyze the child’s urine sample
to check if the infection has cleared .
In
case the child suffers from pain while urinating, a pain killer would be recommended
that would help in numbing of the lining of urinary tract.
Normally
children respond well to the antibiotics and recover within 2-3 days of
consuming it.However, in certain cases; a child may have to be injected with the
antibiotics through his veins. In case a child suffers from severe urinary
