We are worried as he does not like to drink water at all, but he always sucks the mother’s breast still now even after many tries to weaning. Although his Protein level in urine has lowered since 3 days after starting of medicine even sometimes we get ++ level of protein in his urine and again it goes back to traces. Is it normal?
