Question
When a child exhibits symptoms of a urinary tract infection, which department should the parents take them to?
Answer
If a child has a urinary tract infection, it is recommended to first visit the urology department for diagnosis and treatment. If there is no urology department at the hospital, an internal medicine department can be visited instead. Upon visiting the internal medicine department, a urine test will be conducted, and the doctor will generally prescribe symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. If the infection is severe, the doctor may suggest administering symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication via injection for two days to quickly improve symptoms.
