I sterilized my toddlers potty since she is very hard to get a sample. i collected the urine sample to be tested for uti. it came back positive for uti. how would they know if it was contaminated or a legit uti?

There are certain cells in the sample which are associated with contamination. Please provide the UA and culture report. A virtual consult with Healthtap is available. Continue antibiotics s prescribed by your physician. Watch for signs of fever, vomiting and pain

There are devices which help collect urine from infants and children ask your ped. for one. It is very difficult to sterilize a "potty' so the results are not reliable.
