I took Janaya to ED last night because she was crying with abdominal pain. We were there till 2am this morning, got told she had a urinary tract infection and that she would be best at home in her own bed.
So she's at home and has been crying and sobbing non-stop since she woke. Banging her foot and throwing her fists against the couch to help cope with the pain  I just feel so sorry for her and I don't know what else to do for her..
I've called Healthline, my Mum, the ED again and they've all said as long as she doesn't have a fever she just has to ride it out, and once the Anti-B's kick in then she will start improving. 2 weeks ago she was in hospital for three days with a suspected Kidney and urinary tract infection.. she had a high temp but no other presenting symptoms, other than flank pain in the 2nd day. She had blood in her urine back then and has it again now... They discharged her saying she wouldn't need a full course of Antibiotics because the second urine test showed nothing, so they thought it was just a viral thing (Viral.. always the way!) So what should I do? Take her back to the ED or wait? |

| Take her back, I've had quite a bit of experience with hutt hospital and TBH I often think they don't investigate things as well as they could (obviously there will be great staff there as well, I just seem to always get the slack ones....) |

i would dose her up on pamo and her AB's. give her some cranberry juice too. if no improvement by tomorrow then i would take her back. (if the pain is that bad tho you can give the other stuff as well - ummm cant remember what its called tho...but it lasts 6 hours instead of 4 and you can give both.) ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

Definitely keep going back - sometimes you have to be persistent. I recently had my own health problems..... it took 4 x visits to A&E and me being semi-paraletic before they finally admitted me to hospital. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks Ladies.
Just went out and got her nurofen. Bizzy I think that is what you are talking about.. I can give her both nurofen and pamol 
She seems a bit better now, I'm going to see how she is in an hour or two. She doesn't have a fever at the moment, TysMummy did your daughter have a fever? |

If the antibiotics work for a little bit and then the pain/blood returns after she has finished the course, get a referral from your GP to see a urologist. Don't let them just give you more antibiotics.

Yip, dose her up big time on cranberry juice and as much water as possible.
I use to get lots of UTI's and at about 12 I had to go on low dose AB's for 3 months to get rid of it completely. |

Did they do a scan??? Sounds like it could be a kidney stone which would be very painful. Hope you are on your way to the hospital. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Still in hospital She's been admitted for more tests.
We've just had an xray to check her tummy for poo boulders (She's had chronic constipation since she was 2!) They think that it could be that that's causing her all this pain. If the xray doesn't show lots of poo then we then have an ultrasound to check her kidneys and everything else.. the consultant we saw this morning doesn't think she's ever had a urinary tract infection, and that blood in the urine doesn't always mean its a urinary tract infection. Getting a little bit frustrated with all these doctors deciding different things!!! But at least they are finally testing her properly. (Sitting here in the childrens school room which has internet access, wahoo!) |

There was lots of poo
She was chocker block full, big hard boulder like masses right throughout her intestines Which explains the lack of appetite (nowhere for it to go!) and pain. Doc said he had never seen a child like that!
We are home now, she's on home care and she has to have the rest of the week off school while he work on getting it all back out

| Yeah I guess it is! And really bizarre that she never had a UTI... if A&E had of done an xray instead of "Guessing" she might have been treated earlier! |

Last year my hubby kept getting antibiotics for what the Dr thought was an UTI. After 5 months he finally went and saw someone else who immediately put through a referral to a urologist for a scan. The scan picked up a HUGE bladder stone, and he was booked into surgery the following week. He got the bladder stone from prolonged cathetar use as he was in hospital for 4 months earlier on.
Funny thing was the DR who kept giving the Abs is the main Dr in our area, and the one who actually did something was a locum fresh out of med school. -------------
