Hi everyone. My daughter 13 months old has L4 SB. I cath her 3x a day
and lately she has been having episodes of UTI for the first time. She
doesnt leak as much as before though which i assumed was a good thing
but then she is now getting UTI's. She's been on & off antibiotics from
keflex to bactrim, but the bacteria comes & goes. I know this is the
nature of SB but having frequent UTI's in 2 months worries me.
How does having frequent UTI's affect kids with SB??..What
complications can occur?
Any tips on how to prevent it? how do i do a very safe &
clean catheterization? I now even clean her using mineral water before
introducing the cath..
Will the risks of getting UTI's become less as they get older?
