<s>[INST] How are pediatric UTIs treated? [/INST] Since UTIs are caused by bacteria, they are usually treated with antibiotics by mouth for no longer than two weeks. If the infection is severe or if the urine culture grows an unusual bacterium, a child may require antibiotics through an IV infusion. A repeat urine test may be done after treatment to ensure that the UTI has resolved in response to the antibiotic. 
Additionally, your doctor may recommend other medications for symptomatic treatment such as medications for fever or pain. Your child’s doctor will take all of the information regarding test results and your child’s presentation to determine a personalized treatment plan.    Source: LURIE CHILDRENS ORG.
