My daughter had UTI when she was 4 months old and doctors asked me to give Sporidex 100mg (1ml per day). He asked us to take MCU test after 3 months till then we are supposed to continue this medicine. Is this normal? Now my daughter 7 months old and she is taking sporidex 1 ml per day. Since it is an antibiotic I am worried about giving this medicine for long period.
