Cystitis in a child: treatment, advice and recommendations

Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder caused by an E. coli (most often) or other microorganisms. In children, cystitis is usually an infection that affects the mucous membrane of the bladder and disrupts its function. If there was a cystitis in a child, treatment should be prescribed by a doctor - this is always the best solution. The fact is that the most dangerous thing in cystitis is its complications, more precisely the ascending infection. In this case Microorganisms spread up the ureter and affect the kidneys. This is an extremely difficult condition, potentially leading to kidney failure.

Principles and medicines for the treatment of cystitis

How to treat cystitis in a child, the doctor decides, the general principles of therapy include bed rest, rest and diet (ruled out products are excluded, the daily volume of liquid is increased by 50%). As an auxiliary, sedentary baths and dry heat are quite effective (it is important to know that the temperature should not exceed 37 and a half degrees, as intensive heating will sharply aggravate the disease).

When a diagnosis of cystitis is established (in a child), the treatment will necessarily include antibiotics (amoxicillin) and uroseptics - pharmaceuticals that are actively excreted in the urine and act against bacteria in all parts of the urinary tract. In children, the most commonly used groups are uroseptics, such as sulfonamides and fluoroquinolones. Anti-inflammatory and anesthetic agents will also be used for treatment.

Phytotherapy for cystitis in children
