To determine whether or not your child has a UTI, there are certain signs and symptoms you can look out for. You should look for these signs yourself and ask your child whether anything is different about how they urinate. Some of the signs and symptoms of a UTI are: • Very strong-smelling urine • Cloudy-looking urine • Blood in the urine • Pain or a burning sensation when urinating • Pressure in the area of the pelvis or back • Greater urgency to urinate • Increased frequency of urinating • Wetting even though the child is toilet trained • Fatigue or irritability an addition to one of the symptoms above If you notice some of these signs or symptoms, then the next step is to bring your child to a pediatric clinic like KidsHealth Pediatrics. It’s important to see a professional because if the infection is left untreated, it could spread from the bladder to the kidneys. If this happens, then your child might end up experiencing more severe symptoms.
