Ok so my daughter gave birth to my second granddaughter that was premature by two months. Avery has had two UTIs since birth she is currently on antibiotics and seems to be doing well. The antibiotic regiment has been about three weeks now. Not really happy with that, however now they want to do a procedure called VCUG on her. Just wondering if their is any risk to this procedure or if we should hold off. Need help!

As long as there isn't an allergy to the contrast its not a major procedure. They want to make sure that there isnt other complications contributing to the UTI at such a young age (like urinary backflow or other abnormalities)
If the VCUG is normal and the antibiotics are effective then just stay super on top of diaper hygiene, try to breast feed for gut flora, and pray for a healthy life.
How can you watch her to make sure their are no signs of a reaction to the contrast post procedure.
its rare in the young ones, typical procedure they will keep you an extra 20-30 mins, and if there's no new respiratory sounds or trouble breathing you are on your way.
