Is it normal for my 4-month-old son to keep urinating every 20 minutes with a decreased overall amount of urine, even after being treated with Taxim O, Zifi, and Amoxyclav, and while taking daily Sporidex drops to prevent infection before his upcoming kidney scan (DMSA), especially since his bladder scan (MCUG) was normal but his latest urine test still shows a trace of protein (albumin) and a few infection-fighting cells (pus cells)?
It is quite common for babies to experience frequent, small urinations after a urinary tract infection, as the bladder lining can remain sensitive and irritated even after treatments like Taxim O, Zifi, or Amoxyclav. The trace of protein and few pus cells, while taking daily Sporidex (cephalexin), likely point to mild residual inflammation rather than an active, severe infection, especially since his MCUG scan was normal. The upcoming DMSA scan will give clear answers about his kidney health. Please keep him comfortably hydrated and share these symptoms with his pediatrician to see if a repeat urine culture is needed.
