Two : Two causes are responsible for 90% of the symptoms describe. A urinary tract infection is the most common. The second most common is constipation. The built up stool will push on the outside of the bladder giving the patient the feeling that she has to urinate. As you can imagine, the only way to sort this out is to see your pediatrician.

Common things : Common things need to be evaluated for, so I would take her to the doctor for an exam and likely work up. While it is very rare, there are more ominous events that can cause this, such as a tumor pressing on the bladder or ureter, so definitely have her seen.
