hi
At this age,kidney infection (glomerulonephritis) is quite common and needs prompt diagnosis and treatment. Get his urine checked and ultrasound abdomen done. Start appropriate antibiotics as per the doctor’s prescription. IV antibiotics have better results as compared to orals ones.
Give plenty of water to drink.
Thanks
HI
YES,THIS CAN BE KIDNEY OR AN URINARY TRACT INFECTION. GIVE PLENTY OF FLUIDS,FRUIT JUICES. AVOID PAIN KILLERS. GET URINE EXAMINED FOR CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY OF ORGANISMS AND START ON APPROPRIATE MEDICINES. KEEP A WATCH ON URINE OUTPUT. KEEP A INPUT – OUTPUT CHART IS POSSIBLE
Hello there
Seems to be kidney infection but other similar abdominal conditions need to be ruled out. Get a abdominal scan done. If urinary infection is confirmed..antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines will help control the infection
