I urgently require info from mommies who had the same experience with this topic.
My newborn was admitted to hospital when he was 20 days old due to high fever at 40.5. Doc immediately says it must be UTI even before the urine test.
They gave him paracetamol to bring down the fever,The 2nd dose already stablized the fever the next morning.
They do urine and blood test.Blood test is ok but urine test showed there was a germ by the name of E Colai.None of the report showed UTI though the doc says so.
So were admitted for 5 days on IV.Antibiotic given twice a day by injection through IV.Doc sent him for ultrascound on kidneys and reports came back the both kidneys are normal.
Now the doc schedule him to do MCU on 5th nov.I would like to know from mommies who has the same experience.I was told MCU is performed on young kids esp infants if urine test couldnt find any other source of bacteria beside UTI?But since the 1st test showed E colai,2nd test showed no bacteria,can he dont do the MCU cos I also read some negative side on this procedure from this forum.
I need advice please.
