collapseUrinary Tract Infections (UTI) Treatment
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are typically treated with antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare professional. The specific antibiotic and duration of treatment will depend on the severity of the infection and individual factors. In addition to antibiotics, drinking plenty of fluids and using over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage symptoms.
About Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) Treatment
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) Evaluation
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common and important clinical problem in childhood. Upper urinary tract infections (ie, acute pyelonephritis) may lead to renal scarring, hypertension, and end-stage renal dysfunction. Although children with pyelonephritis tend to present with fever, it can be difficult on clinical grounds to distinguish cystitis from pyelonephritis, particularly in young children (those younger than two years).
The Goals of Treatment For UTI
- Elimination of infection and prevention of urosepsis
- Relief of acute symptoms (eg, fever, dysuria, frequency)
- Prevention of recurrence and long-term complications including hypertension, renal scarring, and impaired renal growth and function
