How serious is ear infection and kidney infection in a 2 year old?
Patient: hi Dr,my 2yr and 8 months old baby girl was suffering from high temp and continuous vomiting few days ago.we consulted a Dr and he told she is having ear infection ( dark reddening deep inside the ear) and kidney infection.when he touched he back side,she yelled in pain.she is having head ache also.today morn her leg also aching.antibiotic treatment started.i want to know how severe is this.is it completely curable.she is 12.5kg .but born as premature weighing only 2 kg.she had 3 times malaria since her first Bday.and more than 5 times sorethroat.please give me ur valuable answer. Doctor: Good afternoon..!!Ear and kidney infections occurring simultaneously could mean that your 2 year 8 month old daughter has low immunity levels indicated by frequent sore throats and malaria three times.Yes, they are completely curable with proper treatment. Nothing to worry much.So if the problem is recurring, it's better to visit pediatric ENT surgeon and pediatric nephrologist for further evaluation and management.Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
