Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in kids. They happen when bacteria (germs) get into the bladder or kidneys. A baby with a UTI may have a fever, throw up, or be fussy. Older kids may have a fever, have pain when peeing, need to pee a lot, or have lower belly pain. Kids with UTIs need to see a doctor. These infections won't get better on their own. UTIs are easy to treat and usually clear up in a week or so.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs when bacteria invade the urinary tract system. While the majority of UTIs are not serious, they can often cause severe symptoms, such as pain and/or burning upon urination. About half of all women will have at least one UTI in her lifetime while many women suffer through several infections.
