Scheduled bathroom times are necessary to get young children accustomed to having control over their bodies. What happens if your child is going way more than usual, or complains of being in pain each time they go pee? Take your child to Dr. Farnoush Jamali at Prime Pediatrics in the Gaithersburg, MD area to rule out urinary tract infections and other conditions.
Symptoms include:
Young girls are at higher risk of getting a UTI due to a shorter urethra that can be susceptible to bacteria, so diligent wiping and hygiene habits are crucial. Untreated UTIs can result in kidney damage later, so you must catch the symptoms as early as possible.
Most young patients with urinary tract infections will get antibiotics. After the treatment cycle, the antibiotics are finished and the urinary tract infection does not return.
If you suspect that your child might be battling a urinary tract infection, do not hesitate to call Prime Pediatrics in Gaithersburg, MD at (301) 977-2440. Dr. Jamali will be able to provide you with the answers you need so that you and your child can rest easy.
