What happens when your pediatrician isn't taking you too seriously? Is it normal thing to do to just check into an er to get answers?
DC is not feeling well on and off for over 3 weeks. Right now kid has a 102 fever for close to week that's not budging. Uti is positive but it's almost a week on meds. 2nd one in 3 weeks.
I feel like going to a Manhattan er checking in and not leaving until I have answers. Am I crazy or do I need a psychiatrist?

Go to a urologist to discuss the uti

It can be kidney reflux or other issues that need to be dealt with. I would not ignore. But an ER won’t be helpful. Go to a specialist.

Either that or call tomorrow one of the medical referral organizations. If going to the ER you have to know it's going to be a long night.

You're not crazy. Personally, I'm terrified of the er so I'd rather go to a pa that I know and trust. But I'd also be nervous and insist that they send the urine to a lab to test which antibiotics will work for the particular infection that your dc has. Meanwhile, try to get dc to drink as much water as possible.

No, I wouldn't go to an ER. It is a great way to waste a night.

Do research on child friendly vitamins. Ppl that are prone to UTIs can do well with that.
2nd UTI in 3 weeks is not fun. But you know clearly that the fever is due to the infection.

I would see another ped in the neighborhood if you are really feeling lost.

I wouldn't go tonight. I would go tomorrow. Fever is not budging from close to 103. Any Manhattan urgent cares affiliated with a great hospital?

I'm going vitamins. The uti isn't bothering me as much that the kid is ill for over 3 weeks. It's not normal.

Walking pneumonia has been going around. I would check out an unexplained fever.

If you’re going to Manhattan, go to Columbia pediatric. It’s the best pediatric hospital in NY

Nope this isn't right
Unless he caught something on top like flu or whatever but that should be ruled out

It's either your Dr takes u serious or go elsewhere

I believe one of my kids are alive today thanks to hashem giving me 5th sense (mrsa , iv... Long story)

Maybe it’s not the right medicine for the bacteria.
