What are the symptoms of urinary tract infection in babies? What should I do if my baby has a fever due to urinary tract infection?

Urinary tract infection is one of the common urinary tract infections in children. This disease may be caused by parents not changing diapers for their babies on time. This disease seriously endangers the health of babies.

1. Fever: Although urinary tract infection is a very common disease, many parents do not know what the symptoms of this disease are. Most parents think that this disease will only affect the baby's urination. In fact, if this disease is not treated in time, it may also lead to recurrent fever. Recurrent fever is caused by the inflammation that is not controlled in time.

2 Acute pyelonephritis: If the urinary tract infection occurs in the kidney tissue, the baby will show symptoms of acute pyelonephritis. Acute nephritis can cause the baby to have bladder irritation signs such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, and there will also be systemic symptoms. The main systemic symptoms include chills, high fever, headache, loss of appetite, etc.

3. Complicated urinary tract infection: Some babies do not show very obvious symptoms after being infected with urinary tract infection. The babies only have mild symptoms such as increased urination frequency and urgency.

4 Acute simple cystitis: The specific symptoms of urinary tract infection are closely related to the baby's infected site. If the baby's infected site is the bladder, symptoms of acute cystitis will appear. Acute cystitis can easily lead to symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. These symptoms are also the most typical symptoms of this disease. In addition to these symptoms, the baby will also have symptoms of discomfort in the bladder area and perineum.

The baby's urinary tract infection and fever may be caused by the pathogenic bacteria being insensitive to the drugs used. The doctor will use antibiotics according to the actual situation. If the child's temperature is too high, parents should give the child antipyretics under the doctor's orders. 1 What to do if the baby has a urinary tract infection and fever The baby's urinary tract infection and fever may be caused by the pathogenic bacteria being insensitive to the drugs used.

Fever is mostly caused by inflammation that is not effectively controlled. This kind of fever is a typical infectious fever. Generally, doctors will ask patients to do urine routine and blood routine tests, so that they can detect which bacteria is causing it, and then choose the corresponding antibiotics for treatment.

Depending on the severity of the urinary tract infection, it usually takes a week to heal. The treatment plan should be selected according to the severity of the child's condition. Only by insisting on effective treatment can the child's condition be controlled and will not easily develop into a more serious condition. In addition, the treatment cycle is generally not very long. If the condition is relatively serious, it will improve in about a week of treatment. If the condition is slightly more serious, the treatment time needs to be extended by about a week, and it can be cured in about two weeks.
