No need to start 2 antibiotics.Only one antibiotic can be given for 10-14 days.Repeat urine culture.do the follow up.if second UTI occurs do USG abdomen, MCU to rule out reflux.If second culture come positive give Injectable antibiotics.Before all these things collection of urine sample has to be supervised.

Answer 1

No, only one antibiotic should suffice. Get a urine routine done and also an ultrasound of the kidneys. Once the child is well, an MCU and DMSA scan will be required.
