Question
A 3-year-old baby is experiencing painful urination and has previously taken antibiotics, but the name of the medication is forgotten. The parent inquires whether it is okay to give the baby antibiotics.
Answer
Painful urination is often caused by urinary tract infections due to enteritis. It is advised that parents take the baby to the hospital for a medical evaluation and follow the doctor’s advice for appropriate treatment. Additionally, maintaining good personal hygiene and encouraging the baby to drink plenty of water to dilute urine and expel toxins from the body is recommended.
