In “Reevaluating Antibiotic Therapy for Urinary Tract Infections [UTIs] in Children” Yared and Edwards suggest that “pediatricians should thoughtfully reexamine their practice of prescribing prophylactic antibiotics; this practice further contributes to antibiotic pressure and resistance.”1(p993) I concur. So do many families. In fact, many families turn to home remedies such as cranberry juice to prevent recurrent UTIs, often without discussing this therapy with their physician.2
