Hey not sure if anyone can help me but my daughter is 4 she's had 16 it's in one year and is constantly on antibiotics. She had a ultrasound scan done which came back clear and she has had a dmsa scan and it came back normal she's currently on a low dose of antibiotics to prevent anymore uti's in which I was told to stop after Christmas, I stopped the low dose of antibiotics on the 1st January and she got another urine infection 2 weeks after so doctors have put her back in the low dose again.. I'm at my wits end trying to find out what could possibly be wrong and why she is having so many? She constantly driblles though out the day which she never done before these infections and bedwetting occurs frequently.

    You need to get the doctor to do a CT scan and check for Vur which is a reflux that affects the kidneys it is where the pee goes back up in your kidney and it causes the infections
