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.
Most urinary tract infections (UTI) are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and travel to the bladder. This can lead to infection, most commonly in the bladder itself. At times, the infection can spread to the kidneys. Common symptoms include: 1  Bad urine odor. 2  Pain or burning when you urinate.
