Ask a 'Paediatric Urinary Infections Specialist' Online

Bacterial infection of the urinary tract in kids, which includes kidneys, ureter, bladder, and urethra, is called pediatric urinary infection. The symptoms include pain and burning sensation on urination, frequent urination, increased urge to urinate, bed-wetting (even if the child is potty trained), pain in the belly, fever, and foul-smelling urine. Urinary infection is diagnosed by urinalysis or urine culture. By knowing which bacteria caused the infection, the doctor can prescribe appropriate antibiotics. Antibiotics are used to treat urinary infection. Encourage your child to drink a lot of water and fluids.
