Could Be...: In a child, the typical symptoms of a UTI: Pain, urgency and Frequency are difficult for them to articulate. You should take her to see a Dr, as an untreated UTI could result in kidney infection, or other complications. The Dr can examine the child and do a urinalysis which can easily determine if she has a UTI. If the Urine dip is positive, the Dr can also give you a script for an antibiotic.
