What are the signs of UTI?

If your child is too young to tell you how he or she feels exactly, the signs are likely to be vague and not linked to the urinary tract. Your child may have a high fever or be grouchy and not eat. Sometimes a child will have only a low-grade fever, loose stools, or just not seem healthy. He may complain of pain in the low stomach area or back, as well needing to urinate often. Your child may cry and experience pain and burning when he or she urinates and pass only few drops. He or she may also have trouble controlling urine and may have accidents or wet the bed. The urine may also smell bad.
