The little boy has a urinary tract infection. Do you know what this is?

It is not common for little boys to have urinary tract infections, but due to various complex reasons, younger boys may have urinary tract infections, such as bacteria entering the urinary system, which is the most common reason, or other reasons such as the boy's foreskin.

1. The pathogens of urinary tract infection are mainly bacteria, and very few are viruses, fungi, mycoplasma, chlamydia and Trichomonas, etc. It is divided into simple and complicated urinary tract infection. The main bacteria in simple urinary tract infection are Escherichia coli; in complicated urinary tract infection, in addition to Escherichia coli, there is a significant increase in the number of Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, etc.

2. Normally there are a small number of bacteria in the urethra of children. When the body's resistance is reduced or the urethral mucosa is damaged, the bacteria can invade or ascend along the urethra and cause infection of the bladder, renal pelvis and renal interstitium.

Suggestions: It is recommended to check the child's urine routine, give the child anti-inflammatory drugs, and drink plenty of water.

3. Urinary tract infection, abbreviated as UTI, refers to urinary tract inflammation caused by pathogens invading the urinary tract mucosa or tissue. According to the site of infection, urinary tract infection can be divided into upper urinary tract infection and lower urinary tract infection. The former is pyelonephritis, and the latter is mainly cystitis.

Suggestions: In general, patients with urinary tract infection should drink more water and urinate frequently. Drinking at least 2 liters of water and urinating every 2-3 hours is the most practical and effective method.

4. Phimosis is an important cause of urinary tract infection in boys under 5 years old. Phimosis refers to the foreskin being turned up so that the glans penis or urethra opening cannot be exposed. Phimosis can cause some dirt to accumulate in the foreskin, which can easily cause infection. Therefore, when taking a bath, turn the foreskin more often and wash it frequently to prevent urinary tract infections.

5. Children's urinary tract infection should be treated in time to avoid retrograde infection or prolonged inflammation. You can take anti-inflammatory drugs and drink plenty of water. Generally, the treatment will be cured quickly. You can take children's cefaclor granules.
