vesicoureteral reflux Tx
In neonates with antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis and in infants younger than 8 weeks who have been treated for UTI, the agent of choice is amoxicillin
For older children, the most common antibiotics used are trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, nitrofurantoin, and penicillins.
Can someone explain why such different abx choice for different age group?
