Coping With Urinary Tract Infection

I don’t know why my daughter has recurrent UTI She drinks lots of water and juice. She seldom eats junk foods. We were twice advise to confine her. Doctors seemed confused bec. they keep changing antibiotics bec.it doesnt work on her. She also underwent a kidney ultrasound and the result is normal. Last time she was hospitalized, we were required for a urine culture(her second urine culture) at national kidney institute at the same time that hospital require us to submit urine for urinalysis. Results of urinalysis are basically the same, with blood and pus.

But on the urine culture, there was no trace of bacteria after 48 hours of incubation. Why is that, it really confuses us until now. Though, on her first urine culture at a certain laboratory sometime in July , the result was that she has a pseudomonas specie, that’s why we were recommended to a kidney specialist. Sometime in November 2007, I had my daughter checked for urinalysis, and the result is the same, blood and pus. But i didn’t submit it to the doctor .For all the series of urinalysis, i know how to read it now. As of now, i don’t give her antibiotics, i only let her drink herbal juices like cranberry juice and a certain herb known as Morinda Citrifolia.

If you have some advises regarding this misery please feel free to email me at [moderator note: e-mail address has been removed]. I don’t go to doctors anymore. I’m afraid. As of now my daughter’s okay but i don’t know why the last time she still have that kind of result.thank you for the space provided for people like me or us.
