If the newborn recovers faster usually hospitalization in about 3-5 days can be, if the newborn is weaker usually hospitalization time in about 1 week, or even need a longer time.
Newborns with urinary tract infections can be caused by intestinal bacteria, infection of the pubic area, etc. Generally, newborns can be discharged from the hospital if they are in good spirits and negative for bacteria after examination. However, after discharge, you need to pay close attention to the newborn’s status, wash the pubic area diligently, and wash the newborn’s clothes separately from the adult’s to avoid the newborn’s re-infection.
If the newborn is not feeling well after being discharged from the hospital, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time and continue the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
