Specializes in Infectious Disease

UTI is possible: This sort of change in a child your daughter's age -- assuming that previously she had normal urine control -- often is due to urinary tract infection (UTI). Whatever the cause, this needs professional medical attention. Take her to her pediatrician or your family doctor ASAP. Good luck!
