16 Month Old with a UTI????

If it is truly a UTI she will needs antibiotics. It is a bacteria infection and you can not get rid of bacteia with cranberry juice unfortunatlly. There are no outwards signs of a UTI besides the very high fever, so if you are suspecting it maybe its a yeast infection (common in babies with diapers especially girls.) My almost 1 year old daughter just spent a week in the hospital because of a UTI, so I am fairly sure they do not take them likely. I waited the fever out for a few days to see if it was viral (4 days) then ended up taking her into the er with a seizure so don't wait. At the time in the hospital we saw 6 other children come in and stay the week with a UTI, so I think it may be better treated with IV antibiotics. We just got out Saturday, so it must be going around!!!

Hi
Cranberry juice is supposed to help. Maybe water it down a little and put some in a sippy cup. I think less baths and bubblebath too, I heard they can cause UTIs
Good luck

Cranberry juise daily!! When my daughter was about 18 months old she got a horrid UTI for christmas 0 we spent it at the ER. Her fever was 102+ for days until the UTI finally started getting out of her. But the she got another and another and another and we had to do all these tests on her. Well she had some other issue, but we made drinking cranberry juice a daily thing, still do (she is now 9) and she seldom gets a UTI now, I think her last one was over a year ago. The white cranberry is good and does not stain everything =]
Good luck and God bless.

You need to consider giving her antibiotics... if untreated or it gets worse, it can cause kidney problems and other ripple effects.

A UTI is not just an irritation...it is an internal infection. My girl had one once, and by the time we realized, we had to take her to the ER and she had to get a catheter done and oral antibiotics.

Go according to your Ped's advice.
All the best,
