UTI on 3month old baby

[emostef]

my almost 3 months old baby boy has UTI, we got him checked for CBC and Urinalysis and the infection is bad. he's on antibiotics right now, anyone else who encountered the same thing?

[mommyfirst]

utis are more common in girls than boys pero medyo common sya because of the diaper. minsan yung poopoo nila kasi get into their sensitive areas kaya pumapasok ang bacteria dun.
my daughter too when she was about  a year old had two episodes of uti. she is 4 now. so far di na sya nagka-episode since then. advice sa amin ng pedia was to increase fluid intake, fruits and vegetables and of course always check on the diaper. pati yung way ng paglinis. start from the top going down.
im sure your baby will be alright.

daughter ng friend ko, ganun nangyari and super gastos dw. but according to the pedia, when changing diapers aside from going down stroke lang. dapat more on cotton and water ang gmitin. wag puro wipes kc d nalilinis maige genitals nya kaya ngkakaron ng bacteria. kaya pag nagkauti, its more on hygiene daw. kc since yaya nagaalaga, even when their at home, wipes lang gamit. ako even when we go out, khit hassle i still bring cotton and water.

same here. nagka uti baby boy ko at 6 months naman. we were using mamypoko exclusively then, palit diaper every 4 hours. ewan ko ba bakit nagka uti pa din. naging okay naman sya after ng antibiotic. after nun, hindi na namin sya palaging pinapag disposable diaper. minsan naka cloth diaper lang sya. salitan para daw makahinga naman yung putuytoy nya according kay mil.

baby ko noon newborn pa lang may UTI na, kakaawa kasi 7 days sya nagantibiotic nakaheplock sya kasi doon iniinject yun gamot

pero mas prone ang girl magkaron ng uti kesa boys. ok din talaga pag cloth. pero un lang, isang wiwi lang wet na. kailangan meron ka pangdoble na parang plastic diaper para pag nabasa cloth diaper, di mababasa [textspeak!] bed. mas di rin prone sa rashes ang baby kapag naka cloth, you just have to check once in awhile. ako normally i use cloth, if nagchange cya diaper and malapit na cya magbath, para di sayang disposable

Mga sis, how did you know / suspect that your baby had UTI?

[mikaela325]

^yung sa amin sis baby boy, panay iyak nya sa gabi. di ko na tuloy alam if it was colic or it was due to his uti na. tapos after feeding, sumusuka sya, ayun pina check na namin. pina urine test and dun nakita na uti nga.

[emostef]

^^ sakin sis napuna ko na bk may uti kasi everytime b4 [textspeak!] umihi umiiyak kya parang nalalaman
ko na pagiihi siya.tapos nung nilagnat na dun nako naalarma dinala na sa pedia urine test and
urine culture, then un meron e coli bacteria, kaya antibiotic for a week
then test ulit bumaba naman bacteria kasi normal is 2-4 [textspeak!] daw e yung sa anak ko more than
100 super bacteria. ewan ko nga ba maingat naman kami sa paglilinis pero since kasi tagulan
nung time na yun, lagi diaper kya siguro ganun khit every 4hours palit

My baby girl also had this a few months ago. Nilagnat sya that time, akala naman dahil nakainom ng water sa pool kaya sya diarrhea at lagnat. Ayun, panay rin ang suka nya every after feeding, tapos ang konti lang ng wiw maghapon, sa magdamag, wala man lang laman yung diaper nya. Pina-urine test nga, dun na nakita na may UTI. so ayun, nag-antibotic sya for a week. Eventually, nawala na yung fever, tapos yung vomiting episodes nya nawala na rin, pati yung diarrhea nya. I agree, kawawa ang baby pag meron nito.

These are the few things I have considered as tell-tale signs ng uti based sa experience ko: 1) vomiting, 2)fever, 3)lesser wiwi episodes, or no wiwi at all sa gabi, or while sleeping, 4) ang she usually "touches" her puson from time to time rin, 4) or diarrhea rin.

almost 3 mos din son ko nung nagka UTI. on and off ang lagnat niya, pagpinapacheck namin, lagi sinasabi baka viral lang, tapos papainom namin ng paracetamol, syempre nawawala yung fever. tapos nung nagkaroon ulit ng fever, sa ER ko na diniretso, so nag cbc and urinalysis, so nalaman na may UTI. confined kami almost 1 week, kasi 7 days gamutan, ang hirap kasi iniinject yun gamot tapos ang likot ng baby ko, lagi natatanggal yung dextrose, so ilang beses kami bumaba ng ER para lang ikabit ulit dextrose, dami nurse na nakahawak kasi pumipiglas si baby, ayaw patusok.

mag 3 yrs old na son ko, di na bumalik yung UTI.

[mikaela325]

Yung toddler ko 4x na nagkaka uti. When i had him checked sa st. Lukes phimosis daw dahilan kaya frequent uti nya and advise ipa circumcise na. Pina kub na din sya normal results naman.

[April30]

My 2 boys ages 7 y/o and 2 y/o madalas magka-UTI. Sabi ng pedia ko, any boys Hindi daw dapat madalas ma-infect unlike girls. The reason daw which is pareho Nya na-observe sa sons ko, is maliit daw yun but as sa daanan ng wee wee ng mag anak ko. Na-accumulate daw dun yung dirt kaya nagkaka-infection. Sabi pa ng pedia ko, if lagi daw ganun, we have no choice but to circumcise agad yung mag anak ko.

[mikaela325]

^same findings sa baby ko. Kaya the other day finally he was circumcised na at st. Lukes qc. Okay naman na sya now. Out patient lang. Masama daw sa kidney palaging nag kaka uti kaya we made that decision na.

My 1st daughter din nag ka UTI around 6months siya dati kasi puro baby wipes and pang linis kaya ang ginagawa ko is after mag pupu lilinisan ng baby wipes then wina wash namin pati pag kagising sa umaga wash din at sa gabi bago maulog wina wash namin para iwas sa UTI

[rakatada]

Hi mommy mikaela325. nagregister talaga ako just to ask this. kasi baby ko kakalabas lang ng hospital dahil din sa uti. maliit din daw yung hole sa bird nia, which according to you phimosis pala yun. circumcision din recommendation ng pedia. i wonder lang kung under ng general anes yung baby mo nung tinuli sia. super baby pa kasi ng son ko. 1 and a half months pa lang sia.
