Yes we do take urine samples to test for a urinary tract infection. We can test for UTIs in-house and we can send it out for more thorough testing.
Yes, we can prescribe antibiotics if your child is diagnosed with a UTI. Infants and young children with UTIs usually need to take antibiotics tor 7 to 14 days, sometimes longer. Make sure your child takes all the medicine your pediatrician prescribes. Do not stop giving your child the medicine until the pediatrician says the treatment is finished, even if your child feels better. UTls can return if not fully treated.
