Urinary Tract Infection in Children
A urinary tract infection in children is the presence of microorganisms in the urinary tract that causes inflammation and discomfort when urinating; in the youngest it can present in a way that is not very obvious.
Common symptoms: Burning or pain when urinating, frequent urges, fever, irritability and, in infants, crying, refusal to feed, or foul-smelling urine.
When should you see a doctor? Fever with no clear cause, pain when urinating, or persistent discomfort are reasons for a timely evaluation.
Which specialist treats it? A pediatrician handles most cases and may refer to a pediatric nephrologist or a urologist when the infections recur. If you suspect a urinary tract infection in your child, the prudent thing is to have a professional confirm it and provide follow-up.
