A member asked:

When should u take a child to the er? my boy is complaining of it hurting when he urinates. he's running a low grade temp of 100.7. his urine stinks. i'm positive it's a uti?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If he’s experiencing fever along with changes in his urine he likely has a serious infection. Best to see his pediatrician (they can provide follow-up care which, at age 5, he is likely to need). UTI in a male, in a child, is a much more serious illness than in a 20 or 30 year old woman
