My Daughter had UTI

One morning my daughter is complaining of her tummy pain and vomiting at the same time. I and my husband thought that it could be a common tummy pain such as overeating or gas stomache pain. I noticed that she had a severe stomache pain. Once she eats food or drink milk, she vomits; after a several hours, I worried so much so I decided to take her to the hospital for medical evaluation. A blood and urine sample was taken for testing. After a few minutes, 3-5 hpf pus cell was found in her urine sample indicating that she has urinary tract infection. The doctors recommend us to give her antibiotic twice a day for seven days. Aside from antibiotic, the doctor also gave medicine for abdominal pain.

As of now, I observe her diet. As much as possible, I avoided her to eat salty foods. Also, I always prepared a menu that has soup and fruits and vegetables. In addition to that, I make sure that she drinks lots of waters and take vitamin C always in order to prevent the recurrent uti.

As parents, we should be aware of UTI causes and symptoms in order to cure early and prevent serious medical problems.
