[|Human|] HI My son has recently had a urinary infection (he seems to have them recurrently), he is six years old, each time he gets one the only symptom is a massive change in his behaviour. He has been taking Amoxycillin 3 times a day since Tuesday however he has began complaining that it hurts when he urinates, his behaviour has gotten even worse, he is excesisvely thirsty, extremely hungry and is complaining that he feels shaky intermittently throughout the day? Just need some advice
[|AI|]  Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. I'm sorry to hear that about your son. Based on what you said, your son is having recurrent urinary tract infection. Has this been documented by an urinalysis and a urine culture? If you have been using amoxicillin for a while and still your child is symptomatic, chances are the bug is already resistant to the antibiotics. The urine culture and sensitivity will identify the bugs and they will guide your doctor on the specific antibiotics to use. I also think that the cause for the recurrent UTI should be further worked up and identified like maybe an ultrasound of the kidney, ureter, and urinary bladder. It is still best to consult your physician regarding this to prevent complications of recurrent UTI like kidney scarring.  I hope I was able to help you. Sincerely, Handle Dulay-See, Pediatrician
